mention app to do action

Description

Hi ,

I’m using bolt v1.5 to create slack app with home tab . I need when user mentions my app (ex: @my_app) it replies with an interactive message for list of commands used . I tried to implement app_mention event but it didn’t work (the event is not firing ) although i added app_mention:read at Bot Token scopes permissions . Am i missing something at permissions or i’m using the wrong event ?

Regards , Marwa

oh, sigh, I hadn’t subscribed to the app_mention event 🤦 - now fixed.

Now I am getting the message and app_mention events through when someone @-mentions my bot and my event is firing. Awesome!

I’ll leave this here in case it helps anyone else!
