Before you run the Python script in the Slack tool, ensure that your Python environment contains the following libraries:
•requests
•PyPDF2
•slack_sdk
If these libraries are not installed, you can install them using the following command:
./<Latest AI Agent Runtime service version>/pythonRuntime/python/bin/pip install requests PyPDF2 slack_sdk
To configure the Slack tool, perform the following steps:
1Open the Slack_Tool tool connection.
2On the Code tab, uncomment the configuration block and enter the following property values within double quotes:
- SLACK_CLIENT_ID
- SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET
- LEGACY_BOT_TOKEN

ENV_FILE = ".env"
#Set Slack credentials for and comment it after first run #set_key(ENV_FILE, "SLACK_CLIENT_ID", "") #set_key(ENV_FILE, "SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET", "") #LEGACY_BOT_TOKEN = ""
