slash commands result in `dispatch_failed`

See original GitHub issue

Description

I’m using a localtunnel type service to send commands to my bot But on sending /commands, I just get an error message when sending to my local machine via the port forwarding tunnel.

/hint failed with the error "dispatch_failed"

the code works when deployed other commands work fine over the tunnel service.

is there anything special about slash commands? they seem to use http (or https) not sockets or anything fancy.

Thanks for looping around on this issue @tommyvn!

Judging from #604 and this issue (#579), we may want to clarify that all incoming requests (actions/events/commands/etc) are received on /slack/events.

If others find that @tommyvn hint toward /slack/events solves their issue, can you please add a 👍🏻 to this comment so that we know this is the problem. If it is, then I’ll try to update the docs!

author of localhost.run here. I looked into this and I had this exact error. You need to make sure your Request URL in the screenshot @dcsan posted above has the event path in, ie: https://your-domain/slack/events. I posted a minimal viable example for commands at https://gist.github.com/tommyvn/62a6c4dc574430e06f3dbcf528511953 to hopefully hint others towards this solution. edit: removed unnecessary comments above after @stevengill set me on the right path on #604
