Is there a way to change my Traditional Slack App icon using an API or SDK?

I want to be able to update my Traditional Slack App icon in a programmatically way, either by calling an API or using an SDK.

I verified the App Manifest API, and it's possible to update the App name, Long and Short description, but there's no support for the icon.

After spending some time reading the documentation, I found that updating the app icon this way is apparently possible under the New Modular Apps.

Is there any workaround or other way to update my Traditional App Icon using another SDK/API?

I'm aware that I can change my bot icon in messages using the chat.postMessage if I have the chat:write.customize scope, and this is not what I want, I want to update the App/Bot Icon on the workspace where it's installed or all workspaces.

Thanks!

  • Unfortunately, it's not possible to update your app's icon programmatically with the Slack API. It can only be done manually from your app settings page.
