{"ok": false,"error": "not_in_channel"}

This guide explains how to resolve these issues.


✋ Cause 1: Incorrect Channel ID

The channel_not_found error often occurs when the channel ID is incorrect.

Follow these steps to verify the ID.

How to Check - Web Version of Slack

1. Open the relevant channel in the web version of Slack.

2. Check the URL format:

「https://app.slack.com/(workspace name)/(channel ID)」

3. Copy the channel ID from the URL.

How to Check - Desktop App Version of Slack

1. Open the relevant channel in the Slack desktop app.

2. Right-click the channel name and select “Copy Link.

3. The copied URL will look like this:

「https://(workspace name).slack.com/archives/(channel ID)」

4. Extract the channel ID from the URL.

✋ Cause 2: Yoom App Not Added to the Channel

The "not_in_channel" error usually means the Yoom app hasn’t been added to the channel.

1. Open the target channel in Slack.

2. Click the channel name at the top.

3. Navigate to the "Integrations" tab.

4. Under "Add app”, search for Yoom and click "Add."
