`/welcome post [channel]` only sends a message to the channel when I pass in #general or #random as the channel name #40

In violins.slack.com, I created two new channels:

linda

landing_pad

Typing: /welcome post #general sends a welcome message to the #general channel.

Typing: /welcome post #random sends a welcome message to the #random channel.

But typing: /welcome post #linda does not send a message to the #linda channel. Same for the new #landing_pad channel I created.

Wonder why only old/pre-existing channels is working with this command.

Closing because @bethanyG pointed out to me that like with the plusplus bot, our welcome bot needs to be invited to new channels before it can work there.
