Thanks for confirming. It looks like it would be substantial work to move to installing arbitrarily many chat integrations, especially to do so without backward compatibility problems.

For anyone else with this problem: As an alternative we are exploring for one-way notification in slack that posts have been made in discourse, we realized that it makes sense to take advantage of Discourse’s RSS support and hook up the slack RSS app:

> **[RSS](https://slack.com/marketplace/A0F81R7U7-rss)**
>
> The RSS integration allows you to subscribe to an RSS or Atom feed URL and receive updates in Slack. Feeds will be fetched periodically, and new items will be posted to the specified channel.
> 
> Feeds
