Hi Team, I am using Bob to build a feature that sends messages from a web application to Slack. I have also created a Slack test workspace, and during testing I am trying to send messages to myself within that workspace. However, it seems that the Slack API connection is not working, and messages are not being delivered to my Slack in the test workspace.

Bob has provided the following questions. Would you be able to advise on how to answer them?

Questions from Bob:

1. Is access to slack.com permitted?

2. Is a proxy configuration required to use the Slack API?

3. If necessary, could you provide the proxy address and port?

4. Is slack.com blocked by a firewall?
