# Slack: Actions/invite To Connect Channel

> Send one external email address a Slack Connect channel invitation. Requires conversations.connect:write and workspace permission to invite external members.

Send one external email address a Slack Connect channel invitation.

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

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for a single call. Put `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play when the call should be durable, scheduled, or run across a CSV.

```ts theme={null}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'slack_invite_to_connect_channel',
  {
    "channel": "example",
    "email": "jane.doe@example.com"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={null}
deepline tools execute slack_invite_to_connect_channel --input '{
  "channel": "example",
  "email": "jane.doe@example.com"
}' --json
```

## Example response

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