In order to send a message to a Slack room, add an integration configuration on the Integration Configurations page. The access token can be a bot, a workspace, or a user token. If you want to create a bot for your workspace, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Bots page in the Slack App Directory.
2. Click Add Configuration.
3. Choose a username for your bot and add the bot integration.
   
   
   
   
4. Copy the access token to the Integration Configurations page and Save.
   
   

5. Now your configuration is ready to be used in a script.
