Access To Slack Client Outside Of Plugins

Your Question

Is there a way to access the raw slack.Client outside of a plugin?

Is your question request related to a problem?

n/a

Additional context

I'm trying to use the base bot to send a DM to a user when an interaction is received via a non-slackscot path.

For the moment I'm just creating a new client with viper.GetString("token")

It's not technically impossible but I think it would break the bot abstraction so I'd be inclined to not offer this. For what it's worth, I think slack applications often do have a bot component and "something else" and that it's okay to share the token for those different components.

Does that make sense?

Yup yup.
Thanks
