Collect Asynchronous Responses from Slack Block Messages - Workflow Template

Workflow that can be used to record asynchronous responses to Slack Block Kit messages that contain buttons for a user response.

Updated over 6 months ago

This workflow template enables businesses to efficiently process asynchronous responses from Slack Block Kit messages with interactive buttons. When a user clicks a response button, the workflow captures and stores their response as a global variable for future use. It also updates the Slack message to reflect the action taken by the user, enhancing user experience by providing immediate visual feedback within the Slack environment. Ideal for security bots and other automated systems, this template streamlines interactions and data capture within Slack workflows.
