fixes #33

The event message.im needs to be added the Slack API dashboard Events section
@globalping now works in the direct conversation with the app, as well as in group conversations if the bot user was added there.
for mentions in group conversations, if the bot user was not added before, we are not notified about the message and nothing is displayed. Slack doesn't display anything about the need to invite. I'm not sure what we can do about this.
for mentions in private channels, if the bot user was not added before, Slack displays a reminder to invite the user to the channel, then it works as expected after the bot is added.

Adding message.im and reinstalling should be the opportunity to see if it fixes the mentions. Right now the mentions are not working for me in the production app

what Slack client are you using? Because it works correct for me in our Slack org

ALso note that "guests" cant interact with apps I believe, so it wont work for you in our Slack org, but should work in your own org where you are a full member

Chrome web app for Slack + Mac os Slack desktop app, both not working. But it works for on my dev server

I'm testing in my own slack org

If you check our Slack I mentioned you in a test where the bot works. Can you maybe check the logs and compare my mention that worked and yours to see if there is a difference?

it's working for me in your workspace. I'll try again with a fresh workspace

Maybe lets open a separate issue for the issue you're experiencing. Because I dont think its related to this PR.

I am talking about this message which we seem to send manually. We do it for the / command, but not the bot.

How does it work?

@jimaek that's for private channels:

For the command, the slack app backend receives the request with the command but is not able to reply as the bot user is not in the channel so we send the message in the screenshot you shared above
For the mention, the slack app backend does not receive any request as it's not in the channel, but there is a slackbot message that suggest the invite (screenshot below)
