Description
I'm @ mentioning the bot app in a direct message channel but it doesn't respond in the same way as it does in the channel where you get a modal asking if you want to invite it. Additionally, conversations.info gives channel_not_found error for above channel's ID. My bot application configured with all the scopes mentioned here. What I'm doing anything wrong here or it is something that isn't supported as of now in Slack?
