The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Slack Auto Message Sender do? **Slack Auto Message Sender** sends a Slack message from an authenticated workspace session using structured input. It is useful for internal workflow automation, alerts, and operational follow-up steps. Built on the **Apify platform**, this Actor supports scheduling, webhooks, and dataset exports. ### Why use Slack Auto Message Sender? - **Operational messaging** - Trigger Slack messages from automation workflows - **Internal alerts** - Send structured notifications into Slack conversations - **Action visibility** - Capture success or error details in Apify datasets ### How to use Slack Auto Message Sender 1. Open the Actor on Apify 2. Enter the Slack message inputs and authenticated session fields 3. Start the run 4. Review the dataset output for delivery details ### Input This Actor accepts the fields required to send a Slack message through an authenticated session. #### Proxy object Use the `proxy` object to define how requests should be routed. Common fields are: - `ip` - Proxy host or endpoint URL - `port` - Proxy port - `username` - Proxy username - `password` - Proxy password **Example input:** ```json { "slChannelId": "C1234567890", "message": "Hello from an automated workflow.", "txSlackUserId": "U23456789", "d": "example_slack_session_cookie", "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/145.0.0.0 Safari/537.36", "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/145.0.0.0 Safari/537.36", "txSmSelfProfileUrl": "https://app.slack.com/client/T12345678", "texAuVariables": {}, "proxy": { "ip": "http://proxy.example.com", "port": "1080", "username": "user_example|session_demo", "password": "example_proxy_password" } } ```` ### Output The Actor writes the message action result to the default dataset. **Example output:** ```json { "success": true, "response": { "channelId": "C1234567890", "messageTs": "1719216000.000100", "messageText": "Hello from an automated workflow.", "timestamp": "2026-06-24T08:00:00.000Z" } } ``` ### Pricing / Cost estimation **$0.00027 per successful API call** on Apify. Failed requests are not charged under the primary pricing event. ### Support If you need adjustments for your workflow, use the Actor Issues tab or your internal support channel. # Actor input Schema ## `slWorkspaceIdToken` (type: `string`): slWorkspaceIdToken ## `slChannelId` (type: `string`): slChannelId ## `slackMessageContent` (type: `object`): slackMessageContent ## `texAuVariables` (type: `object`): texAuVariables ## `d` (type: `string`): d ## `user-agent` (type: `string`): user-agent ## `txSlackUserId` (type: `string`): txSlackUserId ## `User-Agent` (type: `string`): User-Agent ## `txSmSelfProfileUrl` (type: `string`): txSmSelfProfileUrl ## `proxy` (type: `object`): proxy ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
