Messages

Create, update, delete, and query the available messages in Slack.

Table Specific Information

Select

The add-in uses the Slack API to filter the results by the following columns and operators while the rest of the filter is executed client-side within the add-in.

ChannelId supports the = operator.
SearchTerm supports the = operator.
CreatedTime supports the <,>,>=,<=,= operator.

Note: The Messages table requires ChannelId or SearchTerm in the WHERE clause. In the case of a simple select, the Slack automatically adds the ChannelId where the current user is a member of the channel to the WHERE clause.

SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1'

SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE SearchTerm = 'text' 

SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE CreatedTime >= '7-30-2023 00:00:00' AND CreatedTime <= '8-4-2023 00:00:00'

Insert

Slack allows inserts only when ChannelId and Text are specified.

INSERT INTO Messages (ChannelId, Text) VALUES ('D71R6CSR1', 'This is a message')

Update

The Messages table allows updates only for the Text field. Specify ChannelId and Id.

UPDATE Messages SET Text = 'Updated message' WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1' AND Id = '1234567890.123456'

Delete

Messages can be deleted by providing the ChannelId and the Id of the message.

DELETE FROM Messages WHERE ChannelId = 'D71R6CSR1' AND Id = '1234567890.123456'
