    I tried integrating with the slack. Following are the issues I faced (that maybe because slack may have fixed somethings) -

    1. You cannot save the "Even notifications" changes unless you provided the API endpoint. (e.g. you need to enable /hello endpoint before saving the changes)
    2. To use the "users.info" you need to set "users:read" scope in OAuth & Permissions > Scopes > Select Permisson Scopes
