Recipe Overview
This recipe creates a slack channel when a new project is created in GUIDEcx and adds the Slack Channel ID as a hidden property on the Project in GUIDEcx. It then optionally invites the Project Manager and any team members assigned tasks at the template level to the channel.
Note: This Recipe sends the message to the assignee from the user signed in with the Recipe Builder Connection. We recommend creating a user in your Slack Environment to act as the GUIDEcx bot. See the Slack Channel Integration Recipes Article for more information.
