The member_left_channel event is sent to all websocket connections and event subscriptions when users leave public or private channels.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
user | User ID belonging to the user that left the channel. |
channel | Channel ID for a public channel or private channel (AKA group). |
channel_type | A single letter indicating the type of channel used in channel. Private channels created before March 2021 have a G prefix. Both public and private channels created after March 2021 have a C prefix. If you need to know the channel type, use the conversations.info method. |
team | Team ID, identifying which workspace the user is from. |
This event is supported as a bot user subscription in the Events API. Workspace event subscriptions are also available for tokens holding at least one of the channels:read or groups:read scopes. Which events your app will receive depends on the scopes and their context. For instance, you'll only receive member_left_channel events for private channels if your app has the groups:read permission.
