hello

Slack is a flexible instant messaging platform for organizations. It allows you to connect with your colleagues, share documents, and organize teams. It also allows teams to collaborate with images, videos, voice messages, and huddles across teams, time zones, and physical spaces. Slack’s API has allowed it to become a highly integrated productivity tool.

In this course, you’ll become efficient at automating chats, managing channels, and making interactive messages using the API. Learn how to share and manage files on Slack using the API. At the end of the course, you’ll use Slack’s Bolt for Python framework for building a small, custom application and integrating with Slack directly.
