I'm using a Slash Command to trigger a new Modal view and the app is listening only to view_submission events.
The modal is collecting the user response from 2 static_select elements.
Having the channel_id and team_id values how is it possible to redirect the users to the selected channel immediately upon clicking the Submit button?
Meanwhile, I'm returning a button that has a deep link URL value: slack://channel?team=${team_id}&id=${channel_id}
But that's a poor user experience.
According to Slack's Dev Support, there's currently no way to direct a user to a different channel upon submission completion. Returning a button with a deep link is the best way to handle it as of right now. Alternatively, another option is posting a message and linking them directly to the channel after the submission using the below:
