The Grant Private Channel Access action allows you to automatically add users to private channels via workflows, simplifying the onboarding process for group members. To begin, navigate to the Workflows section in your account.
Next, create a new workflow or select a workflow from the list to access its editor and establish the necessary workflow trigger (if necessary). Click the “+” sign to add a new action.
From the Workflow Actions list, locate and select the Grant Private Channel Access action to begin configuring it.
Assign a clear, descriptive name to the action in the Action Name field for easy identification.
From the Group dropdown, select the group associated with the private channel. Once a group is chosen, the Private Channel field will populate, enabling you to select the relevant channel from the list.
Finally, select the relevant Private channel from the dropdown. Choosing the correct Group and Private Channel is essential for the workflow to function as intended, as it ensures the actions are applied to the appropriate users gaining access to that particular private channel.
Confirm your selections, and click the “Save Action” button to add the action to your workflow.
By automating the process of granting private channel access, this workflow action not only saves time but also enhances the user experience, ensuring that members are efficiently added to the correct channels.
📌 Note: When adding a user to a private channel, if they are not already a member of the group, they will automatically be added to both the group and the private channel.
