    Usage info

    This method is only available for workflow apps.

    In order to use this method, you must first obtain a service token via the Slack CLI. Refer to obtaining a service token for more details.

    Using activities

    This method returns the latest logs for a given app_id.

    Note that if multiple filters are used, filtering will be performed with a logical 'and' operator.
