# Slack: Actions/api Call

> Call a native Slack Web API method with passthrough arguments, including new methods or fields absent from named tools. Uses the workspace connection.

Call a native Slack Web API method with passthrough arguments, including new methods or fields absent from named tools.

<Info>
  Tool ID: `slack_api_call`
</Info>

## Run this action

This action has conditional or dynamic input fields that cannot be represented by a reliable static example.

Inspect the live contract before executing it:

```bash theme={null}
deepline tools get slack_api_call --json
```

## Example response

The static output schema is not detailed enough to generate a reliable example. Use `deepline tools get slack_api_call --json` for the complete live contract.

## Input reference

Call a standard JSON-response Slack Web API method using native arguments. This does not install interaction callbacks or wait for a human action.
