Latest from the changelog
We're teaching old blocks new tricks. Starting April 20, 2021 input blocks are now able to exist within messages, allowing you to gather information more swiftly within conversation. Learn more about how to extend your Block kit messages.
Apps may now broadcast messages to users via direct message without handling unnecessary or unsupported conversation and slash commands. Starting March 29, 2021, this feature will be default for all newly-created Slack apps. Get started by visiting the App Home tab of your existing Slack apps.
Newly created private channel IDs now always begin with the letter C, just like public channel IDs already do. The Conversations API will tell you whether a conversation is private or not with the is_private boolean field.
