Description
According to Slack, the traditional way of creating workflows will be discontinued, and from what I understand, the old wokflows steps should be migrated to the new way of creating custom functions: https://api.slack.com/legacy/workflows/steps https://api.slack.com/changelog/2023-08-workflow-steps-from-apps-step-back
It turns out that I've been using the bolt api for over 2 years to create app steps in the organization I work for, and I have a lot of flows created this way.
My question is the following: will these flows stop working? Is there any proposal for this SDK to create application steps in the new format? I'm a little confused about these changes.
Thanks.
