Bot installed event not triggered

API and Webhooks
1

Description
Ive created 2 different chat bot apps. ( still under development )

Error
on first app, Ive managed to get the “bot_installed” event, thus i get all the necessary fields/values for sending IMs.

on second app, i got lucky in getting the “bot_installed” event.

… days later

I try to uninstall the first app, and try to reinstall, at this time i never get the event already.

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?

Chatbot

Hey @rodghost,

The webhook delay is a known issue due to heavy load on our platform.

We are currently working on the issue.

In the meantime, make sure you are sending a 200 OK response back once you receive the install notification.

As a workaround, you could also choose the default welcome message.

Thanks,
Tommy
