Important Slack Flow core actions run in user context. The flow has access to whatever the running user of the flow has access to.

Before using a core action for Slack, [connect Salesforce and Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/30754346665747-Connect-Salesforce-and-Slack).

In Flow Builder, add an Action element to your flow. Select the **Slack** category, and search for an action.
