Hi!

I wanted to try the Slack integration, but Slack tells me – even after I successfully authorized Homey in Slack and then selected a workspace – that **`/flow` is not a valid command**.

Any ideas what to do?  
Did anyone of you folks made it work?

I also can’t see `Homey` or `@Homey2` as a user which I could add to a channel.

Best  
Martin

For anyone who stumbles upon this topic with the same question:

After adding the Homey app to your Slack workspace, it should appear in the Apps list in the Slack interface. If you want Homey to send messages to a channel, instead of a specific person, go to that channel, click the three dots in the upper right corner, open channel details, go to the Integrations tab, and make sure to add Homey to the Apps section.

Creating a Slack card in a flow should now allow you to pick either people or these channels.

Does anyone know if there’s been any changes to this? Added the bot to the desired channels, but it doesn’t show up on the flow cards. Tried restarting the app and the entire Homey as well… Still no dice.
