In branch.io there is a way to receive the click event in my webhook endpoint?
I need a way to measure how many users clicks on the deep-link but didn´t install the app.
A quick update: Branch now does support the click event via webhook! You can select it as an option when configuring your webhook on the Branch dashboard:
We (Branch) don't offer the click event via webhook. The volume is just too high and the cost would be prohibitive. You can find full documentation on our webhooks on our docs site: https://dev.branch.io/recipes/webhooks_and_exporting_data/#register-webhook-on-dashboard
If you control the environment where the link will be served you may be able to gather this information yourself. For instance on the web you can use javascript to create event listeners that will send a message to your api whenever a link is clicked. Here's a doc on how to do it from w3schools - http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_eventlistener.asp.
Good luck!

I've got a simple Dialogflowbot that I'm trying to integrate with my Slack workspace.
I've made a Slack app for the bot.
I've added all the information in Dialogflow integration dialog.
On Slack app side I've set-up bot user, added event subscriptions (including link from DF) and set up OAuth scopes and added the URL.
However, the bot won't reply back. Everything looks fine in DF logs but I'm not getting responses in Slack. Previously I've been able to solve this kind of situation by clicking the 'Install to Slack' button under 'Manage distribution' -tab. However, now when I do that (and allow installation), I receive the following error message:
While starting bot the error appears:
Bot start error: oauth_authorization_url_mismatch
From Slack documentation I've found out that this means "The OAuth flow was initiated on an incorrect version of the authorization url. The flow must be initiated via /oauth/authorize." However, the OAuth URL Dialogflow provides is of form bots.dialogflow.com/slack/<TOKEN>/start.
I've
contacted both Slack and Dialogflow support
done bunch of Googling and
asked a few people that also work on Slack bots
but I've found nothing. Maybe someone here would have ran to the same issue would know what to do?
Recently the Slack team made a change in the oauth authentication with backward incompatible changes. This change break the integration with Dialogflow.
Fortunately, the old functionality has not been fully removed from Slack. In the link I shared above (here's again), at the bottom of the documentation there's an option to "Create a classic Slack app". If you click on it, you will be able to create a "legacy" bot and use follow the Dialogflow-Slack integration guide; it will work as intended.
An important thing to notice, is that you'll see an option to "Update Scopes". Be careful not to make this update, as this will change the authentication from classic to the new approach, and it will break the bot.
Finally, the Dialogflow team already knows about this issue and they're working to make the integration compatible with the new Slack authentication. You can subscribe to that IssueTracker (click the star next to the title) and get updates regarding its progress.
I am developing an application from where users can create zaps and later those zaps can be searched in Zapier if I will connect my application from Zapier.
Now question is how to get the Integration Key that can be used when connecting to Zapier by clicking "Connect an Account"
after this how I can search for the zaps that I created in my application?
do I need to use any api to create those zaps in zapier?
David here, from the Zapier Platform team.
If you add a private app to Zapier, you'll be able to use it for your zaps immediately. If you want others to use it, you'll want to go through the process describe here, where you invite users, submit for activation, etc.
We have a few guides to get you going:

CLI Quickstart
I have created a slack bot and I want to send a general static help message to users when they send a direct message to my bot:
Should I subscribe to Events API? Or do I need to do this in another way? I couldn't find a clear answer for this.
There are two ways to do make your bot user reply to direct messages:
Events API
Real Time Messaging API
In my opinion the Events API approach is easier to implement since it does not require using WebSockets.
The basic approach with the Events API is:
You need an endpoint that can receive event requests from Slack and
react to it, e.g. by sending a direct message back to a user.
Subscribe to message.im event for your bot user
Note that a bot user already has all the required scopes for this with the bot scope.
In addition I would recommend to subscribe to app.mention for your bot user. Then it can also react to mentions in other channels.
Btw. that message you posted looks a lot like a review comment from the Slack team for a new app submission. I got a similar one for my last app and I solved it with the approach above. In general it looks like if you want to have a bot user in your app it needs to be able to respond to help request from users.
I cannot see Webhook function on Bitbucket server. The view is different from the Bitbucket on Cloud. The main goal of mine is i am trying to integrate Slack to get all updates from Bitbucket. Could anyone help me figure this out?
To do this you will need to install the 'Slack Notifications Plugin'.
BitBucket server works on a 'add additional functionality as you need it' model, whereas BitBucket cloud has to cater to a large number of possible user needs where users don't have admin to install the plugins themselves.
To setup: navigate to the custom integrations tab on the Apps admin page in Slack, then select 'Incoming Webhooks', 'Add configuration', choose a channel and hit add. You should now have a webhook URL copy this. (you can come back and change the appearance of your webhook user later on or edit it now)
Take the URL you copied, and go to the admin page for your repository in BitBucket server, click 'Slack settings'. Select the events you want to receive messages for, if you want to receive notifications for commits then tick the Push notifications option. Enter the channel name you want to post to including the # e.g. #git and paste in your Webhook URL. Save.
Now when you push a commit to BitBucket you should get a message in the specified Slack channel.
The official Bitbucket Server integration for Slack, developed by Atlassian, is now released with Data Center support. You can try it out right now.

How can I add a configuration page for my slack app?
example: asana has an add configuration button which leads to a page which we can use to then connect the slack user account with asana account
Several Slack apps (e.g. Twitter, Google Calendar) provide a configuration page after installation into Slack. However this feature seams to be available only to commercial partners of Slack, but not as a standard feature for every app developers.
Developers need to implement it by themselves with an external app / script that is linked the Slack app and store the configurations in their own database.
See also this answer for a full explanation on how this works.
Looking on the official Slack Plattform Roadmap for Developers this feature might be implemented in the future under "Install apps from within Slack".
Update:
You can now use Dialogs to create something similar to configuration pages. It allows you to open a custom modal window with up to 5 inputs (text or drop-downs). Its still not the same as having a full configuration page like the internal Slack apps have, but its a huge step forward and might be sufficient for many cases.
