3. In the flow module, test each API call by running with the following:

   • api_key

   • Create a Slack app.

   • In Postman, open the module’s Configurations panel and save the following credentials:

     • slack_bot_token

     • slack_user_id

   • Create a slash command, such as /dailynews, with read and write access to trigger the agent.

5. Test the Slack integration:

   • In the Slack module, add the following:

     • slack_bot_token

     • slack_user_id
