RTM API not available for modern scoped apps

[tt92]

Hey there,

are there any plans to move away from Slack's Real Time Messaging API (and use the Events or Web API instead?

Currently, the Node-RED nodes are not compatible with modern scoped apps and only run with "classic"/legacy apps.

At least the documentation could be extended to provide some guidance:

• create a "classic" app via https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1
• create a "legacy bot user" (and don't "update scopes")

Cheers,

TT

Yeah it needs better documentation about the API requirements for sure. You can use the web API 100% but it simply uses the same bot token as the rtm aspect.

I don't see moving from RTM for this package honestly but if others want to chime in I'm listening. This is a full blown bot as it stands. If needs are limited creating simple http in (events API) and http out (web API) seems sufficient.
