Currently Chatbots can only send messages to an individual User or Group. Ideally we could: - Get a list of channels in the account similar to [GetChannels](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-channels/getchannels) - Create/update a chatbot message to a channel via [SendChatBot](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chatbot-messages/sendchatbot) with the channel ID in the `to_jid` field ---
