Slack integration is maddening

Describe the problem/error/question

It took forever to get my Slack integration working, but once my app started working, it wouldn’t stop. I had set it to ignore messages from itself, but it ignored the command to ignore and just kept triggering with every message. I’m not even sure how I got it to stop, but once it stopped, it stopped working entirely. I know I have all of the configurations dialed in because I labored over the thing for at least an hour. I’m running on the n8n cloud with the latest stable version. This is a trigger node.

What is the error message (if any)?

Just waiting for a trigger event. Not picking up anything from Slack.

Okay, a little more color here. I had to deactivate because I was getting this error message. But I don’t have the test webhook URL installed on my Slack app
