slack-token	The [Slack bot token](https://api.slack.com/docs/token-types) to be used to communicate with Slack. We recommend creating a Slack App and adding that to your workspace. Ensure that the App you created has created a Bot user, and give it access to at least the `chat:write` scope. If you wish to use the `channel-name` option instead of `channel-id`, please ensure that the additionally required scopes are added. The token will be stored to be used during the post-action, after which it will be cleaned up. If you wish to update the message in transit, be sure to also specify the `message-id` output from the first time this action is run this workflow.	—	—

Also when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary.
