Access a Slack Client
Use these Apex classes to get access to a Slack client.
The following methods are deprecated on the App.apex class: getConnectedSalesforceUserId, getConnectedSalesforceUserIdMap,getConnectedSlackUserId,
getConnectedSlackUserIdMap. The Slack.App class required that you access the listed methods within the context of an Apex Slack app. In the Summer ’23 release,
the UserMappingService class exposes these methods without requiring app context. Use the UserMappingService methods instead for an accurate picture of your org mappings.
The Slack.App class represents a Slack app that enables interacting with a user or bot.
Usage
Use the Slack.RunnableHandler Interface to create an instance of the Slack client.
Create an instance of a Slack client depending on the permission scopes you're using.
