Allow users to specify OAuth2 tokens about matrix-appservice-slack HOT 3 CLOSED

Having read up more about the process, it seems to be an OAuth2 token. You need to go through the steps outlined in https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth

I suspect, at least at first, we can avoid any issues with sharing tokens (which are useable across an entire team) with multiple channels, by just forcing the token to be stored and used per integration. Yes that will slightly annoy and confuse teams who set up the multiple channels, having to authenticate for each one even though the token isn't specific to a single Slack channel, but it does give us a lot of safety against them leaking between different integrations from different teams.
