autofetch date in slack workflow

Question

I am creating a simple workflow(No coding yet) with a scheduled timer that will send a message in a Slack channel every day at 5 AM UTC. I want the Message to auto picks up the date while sending the message. Is it possible?

Answer 1

As far as I can tell, you can not do so without coding an implementation.

When setting up messages as a workflow step using the basic slack-provided option, the only variables you can insert in the message are references to the channel where the workflow is being executed and to the user executing the workflow.

Coding up a workflow step is not particularly challenging though, so take a look at the slack documentation here for a guide on how to approach it.
