No response

Description

Full error is:
RuntimeException: Slack API call failed with error [channel_not_found]. in file .../vendor/laravel/slack-notification-channel/src/Slack/SlackChannel.php on line 57. Code that breaks looks as follow:

$response = $this->http->asJson()
      ->withToken($route->token)
      ->post('https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage', $payload)
      ->throw();

Maybe I am using this library wrong, but when trying to send a Slack notification I had to overwrite the SlackChannel::send() method on line 53 to accept a URL to post (a webhook URL from my Slack App) instead of the hardcoded 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage' url.
I am not sure why this line is hardcoded, maybe I am supposed to use another method for webhooks or maybe this method has not been updated with Slack API changes.
I am suggesting to change the line to:
->post(config('services.slack.notifications.webhook_url'), $payload)
which it's what I had to do to be able to send messages to my slack channel using this library. This fixed my problem

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a slack app that supports webhooks.
  2. Have a notification configured to send messages via Slack:
  3. Try to send message, using Notifiable or dispatching it now:
Notification::route('slack', config('services.slack.notifications.channel'))
                ->notify(new HorizonJobFailed($errorMessage));

Error will be thrown not being able to find the correct channel, since URL to post does not match webhook url
