4 years ago What version of slackclient are you using? Have you seen the documentation explaining how to get access to the underlying client? https://errbot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/plugin_development/backend_specifics.html#getting-to-the-underlying-client-library

Issue description
I am using the Slack backend, and I'd like to call chat.postEphemeral to mimic what the /giphy app does. From what I can tell, the actual slack RTM client connection isn't exposed to the plugin, and the existing messaging interface doesn't support it. If there was some way to get that client handle, I could just make the call directly. I can kludge it by making a system call to a custom external script, but "yuck". I realize this breaks "errbot as a unified messaging interface" and might lead to plugins that are backend-specific, but not having some escape mechanism when we need it is a bummer. Thanks for considering it. If it's already available - I'd love a pointer to it in the docs, couldn't find anything.
