Your legacy Slack integration uses the im.list API method to retrieve a list of direct message
channels.
With Slack’s API evolution, what is the current method that should be used for this functionality?
A.
conversations.list with types=im parameter
B.
direct_messages.list
C.
users.conversations
D.
chat.list
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The modern method that replaces im.list is conversations.list with the types=im parameter. This reflects
Slack’s unified approach to conversations, where direct messages (IMs) are a subset of the broader
conversations model.
Option B is incorrect as there is no direct_messages.list method in Slack’s current API.
Option C is incorrect because users.conversations is not a specific method in Slack’s API for listing direct
message channels.
Option D is incorrect as chat.list does not exist in Slack’s API and would not specifically list direct message
channels.
Question #2 (Topic: demo questions)
Your team is creating a Slack app for managing team schedules.
To align with Slack’s commitment to a more productive work environment, what feature should
be prioritized?
A.
A feature that automatically schedules team meetings based on everyone's Slack status
B.
An interactive scheduling tool within Slack that allows team members to propose and vote on meeting times
C.
Regular automated reminders about schedule updates every 30 minutes
D.
A requirement for team members to post their daily schedules in the general channel
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
An interactive scheduling tool within Slack facilitates collaborative decision-making and respects individual
preferences, aligning with Slack’s goal of a simpler and more productive work environment. It allows team
members to engage in the scheduling process actively.
Option A is incorrect because automatic scheduling may not accurately reflect individual availability or
preferences, potentially leading to conflicts.
Option C is incorrect as frequent reminders can become intrusive and disrupt the workflow, contrary to
Slack’s principle of a pleasant work experience.
Option D is incorrect because requiring public posting of daily schedules can lead to information overload
and does not efficiently facilitate schedule management.
