  | Channel ID     | The ID of the channel to retrieve info on. Can be obtained by using the `Get Channels` action.<br /><br />**Note**: <br />\* When using the `Slack Bot` or `Slack User` connection types, `private_channel` and `mpim` (group chat) channels **cannot** be retrieved.<br />As an alternative, you can create your own Slack app by following our [documentation](https://docs.blinkops.com/docs/integrations/slack#connecting-using-a-new-application) and adding the required scopes: `channels:read`, `groups:read`, `im:read`, `mpim:read`. Follow the guide to create a token, then connect using the `Token` connection type.<br />\* The `Slack Bot` connection can only retrieve information from `im` (direct messages) channels it is a member of. Public channels have no limitations. |
  | Include Locale | Set this to `true` to receive the locale for this conversation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
