Creating a Slackbot
- [Instructor] My very first step in creating this workflow was adding this chat message received trigger. That allowed me to use the chat down here and test out the AI agent as I was building it. And now that it's functioning the way I want to, it's time to move on to the actual integration because this AI agent isn't supposed to just work inside N8N, it's supposed to work with Slack. I need to add a Slack trigger at the front and then send Slack messages out at the back and this chat message received trigger will become just a backup for testing. To hook the N8N workflow to Slack, I first need a Slack workspace where I have admin rights, so I've created one here. I'm the only member and there is no content anywhere. Integrating Slack is a multi-step process. We'll do it over a couple of videos and this first one, we will start by creating a new app, and that's done by going to api.slack.com/apps. Make sure you're logged in with your account so that you have access to the workspace…
