The `start_rtm.rs` returns "missing scope"

[cedric-h]

That example would be a really great jumping off point, but I'm not sure which permissions I need to give it. Right now I'm giving it:

channels:history, channels:read, chat:write:user, im:history, im:read

But apparently more, or different ones are needed?

Thanks!

That's odd. Perhaps something had changed but my app only has the slash command permission. Hmmm

It does seem some things have changed.

This page implies you need a bot type token with the scope bot https://api.slack.com/methods/rtm.connect

Ever get this resolved? Having the same issue

[dten]

Do you have the scopes required according to the docs?

[ccakes]

Ended up getting this resolved. The crate docs don't contain anything about how to set up a valid RTM token and the way through legacy bot tokens etc via the Slack API portal is a bit of an average user experience.

For how slack works you should read the slack docs https://api.slack.com/rtm they change a lot and it would be impossible for the docs.rs docs to mirror them. For rtm Slack expects you to use the oauth flow and not a tester token. in fact they're soon removing the creation of test tokens. https://api.slack.com/legacy/oauth New slack apps can't use rtm at all and i'm a little worried they're going to kill it

[dten]

I'll try and make the docs link to related places though

Same. Sorry didn't meant to come across as though I thought it was a crate doc problem, the Slack docs themselves are lacking. When I was Googling the error messages I found a lot of Python and JS devs with the same problem
