Thanks! Would you know what settings to set in the Discourse admin interface? I have already configured the rules and I can receive the Slack notifications just fine. I just can’t use the slash commands.

Btw, my main motivation for making the slash commands work is so I can post transcripts of Slack conversations to Discourse via the `/discourse post` command.
