I’m trying to setup an app which is a replica of this sample app. It works great when I do slack run using the the Slack Deno SDK (Slack CLI v2.9.0). However, when I do slack deploy, it doesn’t work as expected.
Since I changed the workflow a bit, I require the app to take in messages in a DM and based on the message time and content, check in or check out a user. In the dev/local version, I would have to go to the App Settings as per this answer and allow user to DM the bot. But there is no such page for the deployed app (even though there’s one for the dev/local app). It says “There’s a glitch” (404, not a permissioning issue). Moreover, the manifest updates seemingly by itself. I tried to update it to the following:
features: {
app_home: {
home_tab_enabled: true,
messages_tab_enabled: true,
messages_tab_read_only_enabled: false,
}
}
However, the updates do not reflect this change (the latter read_only option is always true). I’m thoroughly confused. May be an RTFM issue but please point me in the direction in this case.
Someone named Declan at Slack helped me out with this. Changing this part of my manifest made all the difference:
features: {
appHome: {
messagesTabEnabled: true,
messagesTabReadOnlyEnabled: false,
},
}
