Creating Apps
Slack "Apps" refer to any kind of program that interacts with Slack.
There are five categories of apps:
- incoming webhooks (respond to external events)
- interactive components (buttons, ui)
- slash commands (providing actions)
- event subscriptions (responding to slack activity)
- bots (exchange information with users)
You also need to set the permissions correctly for the bot.
