             Summary: Add channel name attribute in ConsumeSlack
                 Key: NIFI-12427
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12427
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Pierre Villard
            Assignee: Pierre Villard


If the ConsumeSlack processor is configured with a list of channel names 
(example: #general, #user), the generated flow files would only contain the 
channel ID information. It makes sense because the channel name is mutable 
while the ID is not. However, it is not frequent that channel names would be 
changed so it would be useful to have the channel name retained as a FlowFile 
attribute in case it needs to be used downstream in the flow.

(in any case if the channel name is changed on the Slack side, a NiFi user 
would likely have to update the configuration of the processor if not using IDs)

Similarly, if the processor is configured with the ID, it would still be useful 
to retrieve the name of the channel and have it as a FlowFile attribute.
