Hi @mi2yo4,

Thank you for sharing these details!

It looks like you’re able to create a private channel OK but are running into an issue with creating an instant chat (type 4)—right?

Can you confirm if your OAuth app is a user level or account level app? And are you using admin scopes?

Thanks,
Will
