Slack's users.lookupByEmail API is not available

[piglovesyou]

The doc says "it may call any of these methods" but users.lookupByEmail is not available.

How can I report this or where I can see progress of API support?

How are you trying to call it? Can you post what code you tried that is not working?

[piglovesyou]

Thank you, I did it just in a console on IntelliJ break point. I'll try it in a code later.

@peterswimm It is something like this

import Botkit from 'botkit';

const controller = Botkit.slackbot({
  debug: true,
  scopes: ['bot', 'users:read.email'],
});

const bot = controller.spawn({
  token: process.env.token
}).startRTM();

controller.hears('hello', ['direct_message', 'direct_mention', 'mention'], (bot, message: Message) => {
  bot.api.users.lookupByEmail({email: '[email protected]'}, function (err, response) {
    console.log(response);
  });
});

And I got this

debug: RECEIVED MESSAGE
debug: CUSTOM FIND CONVO W8TUH1J6Q C9L7K86DV direct_mention
debug: I HEARD [ 'hello' ]
An error occured in the categorize middleware:  TypeError: bot.api.users.lookupByEmail is not a function
