Work with a Slack User Client
Use these Apex classes to work with a Slack user client.
Provides access to the Slack Web API with a user token to perform tasks as the associated user, such as sending messages to a channel.
Before putting the Slack User Client to use, it’s important to note that the Slack Bot Client is the preferred alternative to confirm your app will work as expected. Don't assume that a user token exists for each user that interacts with your app, even if your app configuration defines user scopes. If you decide to use a bot client, you can expect a bot token to be available in the workspace where your app is installed.
Why Does This Happen?
There are multiple reasons why your workspace doesn't contain a user token for certain users. One of the reasons is that users are associated between Slack and Salesforce through a process that doesn’t involve authorizing a Slack app.
Regardless of whether the app configuration includes the correct scopes, app developers can’t trust that a user mapping includes a token. For that reason, if you choose to use the User Client, verify that the user token exists. If it doesn't, write exceptions to trigger the OAuth flow between the Slack Application and the Salesforce Org.
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.
Many Slack API methods require a token. UserClient 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 UserClient to make a request.
The following are methods for UserClient.
