Hi, I am having a difficult time figuring this one out. I'm trying to post a message using Workbot for Slack with a custom OAuth profile. Posting the message to a user DM or channel works fine. I then want to continue the recipe when the button is clicked, but I keep getting an error: Message not found. I am using thing Message JSON datapill from the post message step. The custom app in Slack has all the necessary scopes, at least all the ones that are documented. I've tried updating the block by ID as well as posting a new message and updating an existing message using the message ID from the first step.
I've added some screenshots to help visualize the flow. I can't see why it's not working and I haven't been to find existing community recipes that mimic this flow, which leads me to believe that I'm doing something wrong? The documentation and connector actions suggest that this is possible though.

Hi @Prudvi ,
Thanks for getting back to me. I had replied last week but it looks like my response was deleted, not too sure why.
In any case, I got it working by using a bot command instead of waiting for the recipe to continue. While it's not quite what I had intended initially, at least it's working.
Thank you
