# Create Slack draft

Automatically create Slack draft on slack.com. Write an unsent draft message to a channel or DM (by name '#social', channel/DM id C…/D…, or @handle/U… for a DM). The draft appears in your Drafts and in list_drafts; it is not sent. Slack allows only one draft per conversation: if one already exists for the destination the call errors (delete/send it first). Returns the new draft id. Requires login.
