slack posts as my user

I have created multiple perfectly running integrations with n8n, but one thing I am having problem with is when I create alerts where I want to notify the whole channel including myself, the problem is that the user with whom the message is posted is my user and I do not get a notification.

I know that this is not n8n problem but maybe someone can point out how to finetune this. I have created a slack app “n8n” and am using oAuth to post messages to slack

Thanks in advance for any tip!

You’ll want to use an access token, not OAuth2. That way messages will appear from your app/bot and not your user. You should be able to update your existing app with these instructions:
