  • When you drag and drop the Slack element onto the canvas, it will open one of two pop-ups

  • If you are not logged into Slack on your Desktop, it opens a pop-up window to log in to your Slack Workplace. If you are already logged in in another window, it will go to the next step

  • After logging in, you will be asked to select a workspace from the Dropdown and click Allow

  • You will now have a Slack element that will say Select Channel

  • Use the Gear in the upper right of the element to open the Settings, and then Edit Element

  • You will now see the Edit ribbon

  • Select the first icon to see available Channels from your Slack Workspace anc click on the channel you want to display

  • You will likely need to click and drag the lower-right corner to resize the element

  • You can then use the other settings to control how the Slack Element operates
