I created a slack bot and am trying to schedule a message to send from the app every month. When I go to test the step that’s supposed to send the message to slack it just loads into perpetuity. I don’t get an error or a success message. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
Based on your description, it seems like there might be an issue with the configuration of the step that sends the message to Slack, or there could be a problem with the Slack API integration itself. To help you troubleshoot this issue, I would need to see the code you’re using in the step that’s supposed to send the message. Could you please share the relevant portion of your Pipedream workflow code?
In the meantime, here are a few general things you can check:
-
Slack App Permissions: Ensure that your Slack app has the necessary permissions to send messages. You might need to have the
chat:writescope enabled. - Slack API Token: Verify that the Slack API token you’re using is valid and has not expired. If you’re using OAuth, make sure the access token is being passed correctly in the Authorization header.
- Workflow Configuration: Double-check that the scheduling configuration for the workflow is set up correctly to trigger the workflow every month.
- Network Issues: Sometimes, network issues can cause requests to hang. Ensure that there are no connectivity problems between Pipedream and Slack’s servers.
If everything seems to be configured correctly, and you’re still facing the issue, please provide the code snippet from the step that’s causing the problem, and I’ll be happy to take a closer look.
