Hello, I’m trying to do this: Building workflows with Slack Interactive Blocks - YouTube — thank you btw for the absolute ideal video length / content / delivery!

I’ve got sending blocks to slack working just fine, but when I go to create a new trigger to recieve slack interaction events, that option is not present.

I’ve checked the docs and googled around, and relative to the video I don’t believe I’ve missed any setup steps. Did the backends have a falling out or did I miss something?

We encountered an issue with the service and had to temporarily disable it, but we’re working to get it back up ASAP! Please follow this issue and we’ll notify you when it’s back.

I had been using those slack Interactive triggers and couldn’t live without them.

So my workaround using Pipedream is to send the blocks to a Slack Incoming Webhook (Created in Slack APP Settings) this will post your block message to the channel.

Configure a Request URL to a PipeDream Webhook in your Slack App this will send all the button clicks to your workflow.
