2. Create new App
3. Configure App Name and Workspace to develop
4. Use the manifest below

  major_version: 1
  minor_version: 1
display_information:
  name: pulumi-resource-slack
features:
  bot_user:
    display_name: pulumi-resource-slack

    bot:
      - channels:manage
      - groups:write

      - mpim:write
      - groups:read
      - channels:read
      - im:read

      - users:read
      - users:read.email
settings:
  org_deploy_enabled: false
  socket_mode_enabled: false
  token_rotation_enabled: false

5. Open menu Oauth & Permissions
6. Click on Install to Workspace and allow requested permissions
7. Go to menu Features/Oauth & Permissions
8. Copy the bot user oauth token to be used by this provider
