Hi! Can I use my own Slack app/bot for posting to Slack instead of Pabbly Connect app?

Hey @JOY,

Could you please elaborate a bit more?

If you want to change the name of your bot, you can easily do so by adding a Bot Name.

Nope. I want to use my own Slack application.

OMG. What is not clear, sorry?
Currently I'm posting to Slack as Pablly Connect Slack app, I asked whether I can use my own Slack app to post to Slack.

If you want to use your own Slack app to post on Slack, you will have to change the Authentication Type.
For further details, refer to this thread.

To generate your own bot, go through this documentation.

I used bot as Authentication Type. It still use Pabbly Connect bot :)
And of course I know how to create my own Slack bot/app.

Try using user as the Authentication Type.

user mean me. Not bot. Please check carefully before sharing the solution. It wasted our time.

I've posted a video demonstrating the process of assigning a name and icon to your bot.

Additionally, I'm providing a thread that will assist you in developing your own custom application, in case that is what you require.

That is your bot, your app, not my app.

This is my app:

It is not possible to substitute the Pabbly Connect bot with your own bot. Thus the use case you are demonstrating in the video is unattainable.
