Extend Slack Actions to support the Slack Bot app

[dannyroosevelt]

And can we also enable polling triggers? Will need to investigate how to support instant triggers for the Slack Bot use case.

For the dev or QA team: are there specific actions that exist for Slack today that obviously will not work with a Slack Bot token? Or is it all specific to the included scopes?

Observations

Hi @dannyroosevelt for what I've seen so far these are the only scopes that are not supported by Bot Token that are already implemneted as User Token in Pipedream's slack app

channels:write
dnd:write
stars:read
stars:write
users.profile:write
search:read

Also I saw that there is no equivalent scope in Bot Token but similar ones like

User Token Scope -> Bot Token Scope
chat:write:bot -> chat:write
chat:write:user -> chat:write
files:write:user -> files:write

[jcortes]

The following actions are not supported by the Bot Token

add-star
remove-star
complete-reminder
create-reminder
delete-reminder
list-reminders
get-reminder
find-message
kick-user
update-profile

And the action verify-slack-signature doesn't need to be supported because it doesn't use the token as a dependency

Thanks for confirming, @jcortes!

Can you work on extending support for the actions that are supported? And potentially polling triggers as well?

[jcortes]

Hi @dannyroosevelt I've just pushed two sources

• New Message In Channel
• New Direct Message

Not Receiving Events on both triggers

[jcortes]

Hi @Hassan-Abbas-SQA I couldn't reproduce. Can you give more details on your test please! Thanks

@jcortes i selected General as channel and then i sent messages to this channel but didn’t received the events

[jcortes]

Hi @Hassan-Abbas-SQA did you already send messages using slack_bot actions to general channel? you can either use send-message-private-channel, send-message-public-channel or send-group-message

@jcortes actions are not working for me what is these error for?

[jcortes]

Hi @Hassan-Abbas-SQA about the first screenshot according to the docs seems like the name you are setting has unallowed special characters or upper case characters.

invalid_name_specials: Value passed for name contained unallowed special characters or upper case characters.

About the second one I think the bot should need a special plan where it is able to first create a group and then you can list them out with the options property, maybe in your case there is no group already created in your workspace.

[jcortes]

for the second case i have many groups like General but it is not showing

Are you sure? because according to the docs this feature is only available on paid plans
