I am working on a Xamarin App in which we need to have a feature as Open chat room or discussion room. I was exploring the slack api and interested to integrate the slack api in the App.
My clarification is, on integrating slack client api in the app, whether chat feature will be enabled? Whether my app registered users can utilize the slack chat room ? Or do the app registered users has also to register in the slack?
The Slack API is not much use if you do not plan to work with the core Slack application as well. So if you are just looking to extend your own app with a chat features, the Slack API will not help you much. To utilize the Slack chat features, you need to setup your own Slack team and your users will need to register on the Slack team and use it. The Slack API mainly enables one to build automation and bots around a Slack team.
