docs(slack): add missing Messages Tab setup step (salvage #3558)#3590
Merged
Conversation
Without enabling the Messages Tab in App Home settings, users see "Sending messages to this app has been turned off" when trying to DM the bot — even with all correct scopes and event subscriptions. Add Step 5 (Enable the Messages Tab) between Event Subscriptions and Install App, with a danger admonition. Also add troubleshooting entry for this specific error message. Renumber subsequent steps (6→7→8→9).
