3. In the Configure Action tab, click on + Add New Account to add your Slack account.

5. Next, you will see a window open with access requests from the app. Click on Allow to proceed further.
   
   
6. Enter a Title for this account, say “Allow-Slack-access,” and click Save.
   
7. Next, click on the Channel textbox and select a channel from the LOOKUP list that contains all the channels in your Slack account. Click on Load More until you locate your channel.
