Why Isn't Pipedream Noticing a Slack Event Trigger in My Workflow?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I’m struggling a bit with a workflow being triggered by a slack event - a button that was programmed into a block kit message. I think I’ve got slack all set up for that functionality but pipedream isn’t noticing it. I’ve matched up the Action ID and channels. Any tips where else to look?

Are you using the same connected account to both send and receive the message?

Hi, yes I am

(I only have one)

When I click the button I created in Slack it just gives me a triangular warning sign

it makes me think nothing is leaving slack… I’ve got interactivity on and I’m in socket mode…

Can you show me how the button is defined in your slack blocks?

Can you see that?

And can you show me the trigger configuration to catch the interactivity?

thank you

Sure,

Do you see that info in the blue box underneath your connected account in the trigger configuration?

Yes I do - I believe we’re compliant with that

It doesn’t look like it, you’re sending the message from a code step using a bot token

But the trigger is using Pipedream’s OAuth client, so it can’t see anything that’s emitted from your custom bot

ohhhhhhhh interesting…

Is there any reason you’re using a bot token in that code step? Can you just use Pipedream’s built-in auth?

well i’ll have to reconsider that… I’m using a bot because I’m trying to collect additional conversational information before using this to run a search in zoominfo

thank you for this poke in the right direction… I’m going to have to learn about this a little bit I think so I can see how it may impact the project
