Args
logger- The custom logger that can be used in this app.
name- The application name that will be used in logging. If absent, the source file name will be used.
process_before_response- True if this app runs on Function as a Service. (Default: False)
raise_error_for_unhandled_request- True if you want to raise exceptions for unhandled requests and use @app.error listeners instead of the built-in handler, which pints warning logs and returns 404 to Slack (Default: False)
signing_secret- The Signing Secret value used for verifying requests from Slack.
token- The bot/user access token required only for single-workspace app.
client- The singleton
slack_sdk.web.async_client.AsyncWebClientinstance for this app. before_authorize- A global middleware that can be executed right before authorize function
authorize- The function to authorize an incoming request from Slack by checking if there is a team/user in the installation data.
user_facing_authorize_error_message- The user-facing error message to display when the app is installed but the installation is not managed by this app's installation store
installation_store- The module offering save/find operations of installation data
installation_store_bot_only- Use
AsyncInstallationStore#async_find_bot()if True (Default: False) request_verification_enabled- False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware (Default: True).
AsyncRequestVerificationis a built-in middleware that verifies the signature in HTTP Mode requests. Make sure if it's safe enough when you turn a built-in middleware off. We strongly recommend using RequestVerification for better security. If you have a proxy that verifies request signature in front of the Bolt app, it's totally fine to disable RequestVerification to avoid duplication of work. Don't turn it off just for easiness of development. ignoring_self_events_enabled- False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware (Default: True).
AsyncIgnoringSelfEventsis a built-in middleware that enables Bolt apps to easily skip the events generated by this app's bot user (this is useful for avoiding code error causing an infinite loop). ignoring_self_assistant_message_events_enabled- False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware.
IgnoringSelfEventsfor this app's bot user message events within an assistant thread This is useful for avoiding code error causing an infinite loop; Default: True url_verification_enabled- False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware (Default: True).
AsyncUrlVerificationis a built-in middleware that handles url_verification requests that verify the endpoint for Events API in HTTP Mode requests. ssl_check_enabled- bool = False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware (Default: True).
AsyncSslCheckis a built-in middleware that handles ssl_check requests from Slack. attaching_function_token_enabled- False if you would like to disable the built-in middleware (Default: True).
AsyncAttachingFunctionTokenis a built-in middleware that injects the just-in-time workflow-execution token when your app receivesfunction_executedor interactivity events scoped to a custom step. oauth_settings- The settings related to Slack app installation flow (OAuth flow)
oauth_flow- Instantiated
slack_bolt.oauth.AsyncOAuthFlow. This is always prioritized over oauth_settings. verification_token- Deprecated verification mechanism. This can be used only for ssl_check requests.
assistant_thread_context_store- Custom AssistantThreadContext store (Default: the built-in implementation, which uses a parent message's metadata to store the latest context)

Steps from apps for legacy workflows are now deprecated. Use new custom steps: https://api.slack.com/automation/functions/custom-bolt
Registers a new step from app listener.
Unlike others, this method doesn't behave as a decorator. If you want to register a step from app by a decorator, use
AsyncWorkflowStepBuilder's methods.# Create a new WorkflowStep instance from slack_bolt.workflows.async_step import AsyncWorkflowStep ws = AsyncWorkflowStep( callback_id="add_task", edit=edit, save=save, execute=execute, ) # Pass Step to set up listeners app.step(ws)Refer to https://api.slack.com/workflows/steps for details of steps from apps.
