Hi, I'm no expert on Jira's Automation, but it looks you can create a rule to do that. 

I would try something like

  1. Trigger: on issue creation
  2. condition: issue type as Epic,
  3. action: send web request to Slack's api for creating a channel

You could even take the epic's summary key and/or text and pass them to the call, to set the channel's name and description.

Not sure, but you might need also need a paid Slack subscription.

Hope this sets you in the right direction.
