Slack: User tokens do not support scope: chat:write

Created on 19 Jan 2019 · 7Comments · Source: integrations/slack

I followed directions at CONTRIBUTING.md as precisely as I could and when I finally hit "Add to slack" button at my https://DOMAIN/ page, I get the following error:

Invalid permissions requested
User tokens do not support scope: chat:write

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Saluev ,
we are currently working together with Slack on migrating the workspace app to another type of token. That said, I do not have an ETA for that.

I guessed that it comes from a lack of rights in my company workspace so I created a new one for me. The problem still persists.

@Saluev See https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/767. The issue is that this integration uses a Workspace tokens, which is a now discontinued Slack platform feature.

Btw, you should look into GitHub Actions for doing custom Slack notifications. Here's an Action for posting messages to Slack – https://github.com/pullreminders/slack-github-action

Thank you! But Github Actions are still beta...

This is disappointing. I just spent 30 minutes configuring my setup so that I could contribute to the project.
@dennissivia Do you have any updates?
