Send a message to the "only visible to you" channel

Question

I can not see in the documentation for the weak API the ability for the bot to send a message in a channel that responds to the user.

The same slackbotanswers when executed /help.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Pay attention to "Only visible to you." The RTM manual says that messsage is of the same type as the message event . I do not see any attributes that could say that they are visible only to a specific user.

The bot does not currently support this type of message. Only slash commands can send ephemeral messages. https://api.slack.com/slash-commands#responding_to_a_command .

Also, if you want to use slash commands, the answers will be sent by @slackbot, not your custom bot.
