Have you searched for the app, “Slack Bot” when setting up a trigger for your workflow?

i see that, but it uses polling and you need to set an interval. The “Slack New Direct Message (Instant)” I thought would push the event from Slack.

That’s right, you’d have to configure your own HTTP webhook within your Slack bot settings in Slack to do that, which you can definitely do. So you’d create an HTTP webhook in Pipedream, copy that URL, then paste it into the proper field in the settings for your Slack bot in Slack

ok, so the instant connector only works for the Slack account it is set up for? (ie me)
