I am having no luck when it comes to configuring the Slack integration. I am following the Slack plugin configuration instruction . I am following the instructions exactly.

Hey there, Have you set up a filter rule? You can do it at /admin/plugins/slack

Yes, I tried two filter rules. One that would notify post first to a channel, and a second that would notify my Slack user on any activity. But not both at the same time.
