With Azure Logic Apps and the Slack connector, you can create automated tasks and workflows that monitor your Slack files and manage your Slack channels, messages, groups, and so on, for example:
- Monitor when new files are created.
- Create, list, and join channels
- Post messages.
- Create groups and set do not disturb.
You can use triggers that get responses from your Slack account and make the output available to other actions. You can use actions that perform tasks with your Slack account. You can also have other actions use the output from Slack actions. For example, when a new file is created, you can send email with the Office 365 Outlook connector.
