Does "Channel or user" field in A4J "Send Slack message" action take smart values?

I cannot seem to get my automation to send a direct message to a user (myself in this case) rather than a public message to a channel specified in the webhook. 

Neither that works the way I would want (with a smart value) nor if I simply have my @SlackId put in there. I've checked with an audit log that I'm getting a proper SlackId in the Slack API response. 

Any ideas on what might be wrong here? Perhaps there's a bug request open for this?Screenshot 2023-10-13 at 16.59.57.png

Ok, I figured this out myself and it was a Slack App's misconfiguration on my end.
