<div className="integrations-table">
  | Parameter  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
  | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | Channel    | Resume a conversation by supplying an ID of `im` or 'mpim'. Or provide the `users` field instead.                                                                                                                                 |
  | Return Im? | Boolean, indicates you want the full IM channel definition in the response.                                                                                                                                                       |
  | Users      | Comma separated lists of user IDs. If only one user is included, this creates a 1:1 DM. The ordering of the users is preserved whenever a multi-person direct message is returned. Supply a `channel` when not supplying `users`. |
