Troubleshooting Lindy’s Response Recognition in Slack

·Aug 21, 2025 02:16 AM·

Struggling to get Lindy to recognize a response in slack, which triggers the next action - any suggestions? In short, Lindy sends me a Slack with a list of information, which it successfully does, then based off of my response of corresponding numbers from the list, it should take additional action. Unfortunately, it fails after I provide my response.

You probably shouldn't be using an Agent step in this. You could just add an action that observes the message and THEN add the agent step to parse the Slack message after. I would remove the skill, add an action for Observe Message before the agent, instead of having an agent with a slack skill. Marvin A. helped me realize this fault.

yeah that would work or you use the Send Message skill here instead of the observe message. The agent will be able to receive and send messages that way!
