Have you seen this error? Mirrored the demo app, double checked the environment variables and Slack app configuration.

From the API docs for channels.list, it looks like any apps created after June 10th won't have access to this method. Looks like we need to migrate to conversations.list.

[sjdweb]

Hi @evnsio thanks for confirming, we're keen to test this out so I'll have a quick go at a refactor to conversations.list and will send a PR.

[sjdweb]

I've submitted a PR with a fix. I've tested this end to end, main change was the conversations.join method requires the channel ID and not channel name like channel.join.

Hey @sjdweb is there any update on who is able or willing to approve this PR?

We're looking to implement this with the new code fix to include the conversations vs channels method to circumvent. Really appreciate this effort 👍

[vmattos]

Same here I just (temporarily) re-implemented your code on our fork. (Thank you very much 🤙)

There are some other updates that had to be done regarding the Slack client. I'll organize them on another PR later

[sjdweb]

Hey. I can't speak for Monzo, but hopefully they get chance to pick these changes up.

Would advise maintaining a fork in the meantime.

@milesbxf @evnsio could you please take a look at this when you have time? I tried implementing it Today and there's no way how to make it work unfortunately.

[milesbxf]

The PR has been merged and the fix should be available in response v0.5.0. Thanks so much for reporting and fixing this @sjdweb - and thanks also to @sebigavril for independently submitting a separate PR with the fix too

[sjdweb]

Awesome thanks @milesbxf, happy to contribute.
