Hi,
We're creating automations with Workato for Slack. We're wondering, is it possible to open the Home tab of a Slack app via a direct message sent to an employee with Workato? Basically, we'd send a direct message to the employee and in the message there would be a link or button, from which the employee will be redirected to the Slack app Home tab. Thank you!
BR,
Rodolfo

Dear @roro
In Slack, deep linking lets you create URLs that open specific parts of the Slack app, like channels, DMs, or your app's Home tab. While Slack doesn’t have a URL that directly opens a custom app’s Home tab, you can direct users to the app with links like slack://app?team={TEAM_ID}&id={APP_ID}&tab=home. When clicked, this opens the app and, if configured as the default view, lands users on the Home tab.
