Feature request: Update to use non-classic slack application permissions

[surdaft]

I would really like if this could be updated to use the Events API [instead of/as well as] the RTM API. I would love to try and implement this but my GO ability is sketchy.

I am working on attempting this, although I do not have all the requirements needed just yet- eg documented which scopes I need.

Have a working setup of it, will refine what I can and hopefully PR. :)

hey @surdaft sorry for going dark on you. what's the benefit of the events api over the rtm api?
and why did you end up closing this?

It's all good! The RTM api from what I could tell was now deprecated or slack seems to be encouraging the use of the events API instead, since the only way to get a bot token that allows RTM is by using a "legacy" bot user.

I eventually closed this though as I don't have enough understanding or time to look into implementing it and felt that the quietness meant it wasn't really a needed functionality anyway.

Okay thanks anyway
