Error from Slack: channel_not_found

platform: Zapier / category: Config / code: channel_not_found

Cause

Slack returned channel_not_found because the connected Zapier account is not in the target channel, the channel was renamed, or a username was passed instead of a channel/member ID.

Fix

Invite the Zapier bot/user to the channel with /invite @Zapier. For DMs, use the 'Find User by Username' action to get the member ID and map that, not the username. If the channel was renamed, update the field. For private channels, test with a live run.
