How to run automation when create via API

[Naoki]

Hi there

I created automation to add comment when work item created.

I would like it to run automation only when created from Slack, but it does not.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I believe we can handle this in IF condition if we can get "via XXXX".

But I don't know how to do that.

I consulted the documentation for smart value, but could not find it

Thanks

Hi @Naoki , 

Use a smart value condition on {{properties."request.channel.type".value}}

Hi @Bob Dalm , thanks for reply.

AWESOME ANSWER! 

I used the smart value, it works fine!

Thank you for your help.

Hi @Naoki , I haven't investigated this in a while but I seem to recall that there was some text in the Description that indicated a work item being created from slack. In your image I note "work item from slack but that may simply be something you entered during test? If there is some text that Slack creates then you could use in a condition.
