Getting method deprecated

[vsetlur]

When I run npm start, I get the following error:

> node index.js

server listening on port 3000
error: Response not OK:  method_deprecated

The slackbot does not respond when I DM it. Any idea to resolve this?

hi @vsetlur I had the same issue, which I fixed in the following way:

I replaced the line in lib/bot.js where it said this.web.im(userId) with this.web.conversations.open({users:userId})

The web.im method has been deprecated, so that was the issue. Good luck!
