Slack Integration Issue with N8n

Hi n8n Community,

I recently updated n8n after being 5 versions behind, and now my Slack integration and workflows are not functioning properly. Here’s a breakdown of the issue:

What’s Working:

✅ My old workflow (created before the update) with a Slack trigger still works fine. (See Screenshot 1)✅ The Slack bot is properly integrated into the channel.✅ Live workflows (older ones) are executing as expected. (See Screenshot 2)

What’s Not Working:

❌ New workflow with Slack trigger does not respond to messages, even though settings match my working workflow. (See Screenshot 5)❌ No execution logs appear in the workflow history for the new workflow. (See Screenshot 6)❌ When switching to testing mode, it takes forever to execute—this happens across all agents and workflows.❌ The Slack bot is added to the channel, yet it does not reply to messages.

Screenshots for Reference:

📌 Screenshot 1: Old workflow working fine.📌 Screenshot 2: Execution log of the working old workflow.📌 Screenshot 3: Slack trigger settings in my working old workflow.📌 Screenshot 4: Slack trigger settings in my new workflow (same settings as old one).📌 Screenshot 5: No response from Slack bot in the channel after sending a message.📌 Screenshot 6: No execution recorded in the workflow history for the new workflow.

Steps I’ve Taken to Debug:

🔹 Double-checked that the Slack app has all necessary permissions.🔹 Compared Slack trigger settings in the old and new workflows (they are the same).🔹 Restarted n8n, cleared cache, and refreshed workflows.🔹 Checked logs—no execution history for the new workflow.

Has Anyone Experienced This?

Could this be a breaking change in recent updates affecting Slack triggers or execution handling? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 🚀
