### 2. Slack endpoint
1. Make sure Websocket isn't blocked in the computer where you run this bridge.
Test it at https://www.websocket.org/echo.html.
2. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1 and create a new classic app (note: must be a classic app). Choose a bot name that will be put into bridge_with_slack_config.py, e.g. "zulip_mirror". Make sure to install the app to the workspace. When successful, you should see a token that starts with "xoxb-..." (there is also a token that starts with "xoxp-...", we need the "xoxb-..." one).
3. (Important) Make sure the bot is subscribed to the channel. You can do this by typing e.g. `/invite @zulip_mirror` in the relevant channel.
4. In the `slack` section of the configuration file, enter the bot name (e.g. "zulip_mirror") and token, and the channel ID (note: must be ID, not name).
2. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1 and create a new classic
app (note: must be a classic app). Choose a bot name that will be put into
bridge_with_slack_config.py, e.g. "zulip_mirror". In the process of doing
this, you need to add oauth token scope. Simply choose `bot`. Slack will say
that this is a legacy scope, but we still need to use it anyway. The reason
why we need the legacy scope is because otherwise the RTM API wouldn't work.
We might remove the RTM API usage in newer version of this bot. Make sure to
install the app to the workspace. When successful, you should see a token
that starts with "xoxb-...". There is also a token that starts with
"xoxp-...", we need the "xoxb-..." one.
3. Go to "App Home", click the button "Add Legacy Bot User".
4. (Important) Make sure the bot is subscribed to the channel. You can do this by typing e.g. `/invite @zulip_mirror` in the relevant channel.
5. In the `slack` section of the Zulip-Slack bridge configuration file, enter the bot name (e.g. "zulip_mirror") and token, and the channel ID (note: must be ID, not name).
