Get Slack history

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I would like to build a chatbot where the response is found in the history of messages in a channel in Slack. So if I ask a quesions and the answer is in Slack, then that answer should be included in the output. However, when I try to set it up like below then there is no answers returned from Slack. I have tried other variations where I only get the latest message in Slack as response, no matter what I ask the chatbot.
Does anyone know how to get an output that uses the history of a Slack channel?
Any help is much appreciated.
