Hi all,

I have tried to integrate the a bot to Slack by modifying credentials.yml file. But the bot can only reply to a single channel. Is it possible to give access to post to any public channel?

hi @HESHN - if you want to post to a public channel you will have to write some custom code to interact with the slack API. Slack provide an SDK for that in python GitHub - slackapi/python-slackclient: Slack Python SDK https://slack.dev/python-slackclient/
