[TRIGGER] Slack - New Private Channel Created (Instant)

[gbdoin]

Describe the event source. What app is this for, and what event does the trigger correspond to?
Exactly the same as New Channel Created (Instant), but for private channels, as the existing one will only fire on public channels. Or extend the current trigger to cover private channels.

Please provide a link to the relevant API docs for the specific service / operation this trigger is tied to.

I can confirm that the "New Channel Created (Instant)" source does not fire for newly created private channels. I believe this is because the webhook only fires for channels that the app is a member of, but I couldn't find a way to create a private channel with the app already a member.

We may be able to add additional webhook sources for other events such as channel_converted_to_private, but our Slack webhooks (appHooks) are handled internally, so that would need to be developed internally by the Pipedream team. @dannyroosevelt

What I did was create a polling source, "New Private Channel Created", that polls the Slack API and emits an event when a new private channel is found. In testing, this worked for me without adding apps or bots to the channel.
