Slack channel creation for incidents - Private channel?

[Jeanne Schock]

Hello and thanks for any replies.

I am able to create a new slack channel for an incident through automation.

Is there a way to make those channels private?

Hello @Jeanne Schock ~ you can make Slack channels private (see here) - just be sure the Automation Actor has access to that channel.

HI. Thanks for the reply. I looked at that link and I don't see any information for how to create the private channel through jira automation.

This rule below works, but it creates a public channel. Is there a way to make the channel private from the time of automatic creation?
