Work with a Slack Bot Client
Use these Apex classes to work with a Slack bot client.
Provides access to a Slack Bot Client so you can perform tasks such as publishing views to the home tab or sending messages to a channel.
Usage
Before you can work with a bot client, register the action and get access to a Slack context. To get access to a Slack client, use the Slack.App class.
Bots are allowed to post in channels where they are members. If your app must post to a DM between two users, consider using a user client instead.
Many Slack API methods require a token. BotClient automatically includes an appropriate token in your requests. For example,
ChatPostMessageRequest calls Slack's chat.postMessage method, which requires a token along with a few other arguments. This token is automatically included when you use BotClient to make a request.
