Slack FAQ's:

  • Windmill does not have access to DMs - your DMs are private.
  • Windmill does not have access to channels unless the Windmill app is added. Within Settings, you can have Windmill auto-join public channels to save the hassle of adding it manually.
  • Windmill does not have access to Private channels, unless the Windmill app is added directly to the channel.
