问题
I'm starting out with the slack API and trying to just get a list of messages. Here are my steps:
- Created a slack app and gave it channels:read and channels:history scope (also re-installed it)
- Queryied the list of channels with conversations.list (this worked fine)
- From the output of conversations.list, Found a channel that I use and copied the id
- Used the conversations.history api with the channelid from step 3
result:
{ "ok": false, "error": "not_in_channel" }
I'm not at all sure what is happening here. I definitely have messages in the channel, and the documentation page for that api does not say anything about this "not_in_channel" error code.
What am I doing wrong?

After a long time of investigations (~2 hours), I found an easy approach. For Caleb's answer, I didn't understand how to invite a Bot to the channel. Hence, I am posting this answer.
Go to your Slack Channel and type the following as a message.
/invite @BOT_NAME
Eg: If your Bot name is SRE Incident Manager the command would be as follows.
/invite @sre_incident_manager
As soon as you start typing @, Slack will automatically suggest. So it becomes easy. For this, the Bot needs to be added to your Slack Workspace.
PS: Original answer.

This error arises when you are using the bot oauth token and the bot is not invited to the channel. To solve this you need to
- Invite the bot(slack app) to join the channel.
- Use the OAuth Access Token instead
To add Bot to your channel you need to write /invite @Bot_name in the slack channel

I also didn't understand how to invite a Bot to the channel. Way that was proposed by Caleb and Keet was not clear for me or not working. From my side, 'invite' work after
- open channel
- in Details tab, choose a 'More'clause
- in dropdown menu, chouse an 'add app'
- in pop-up look for you app (bot)
Also i was use Bot User OAuth Access Token, because i need this functionality in private channel (additionaly, you should add for bot groups:history scope)
