| **Introduced in Version** | 4.0.0 |

### Prerequisites

The step requires the **Slack Module** to be [installed](https://documentation.decisions.com/v8/docs/installing-modules-decisions) before it will be available in the toolbox.

## Common Errors

### Message not found

Due to the step requiring the timestamp to be in a specific format, the timestamp of the selected message will need to be converted if pulled directly from Slack. Please ensure the timestamp is converted to the correct format. The timestamp for a message can be retrieved using the **Get Message from Channel** step.
