Thanks again. As with #9, the error can be improved by having some validation as part of the action.

With the @v2.0.0 release a step will now exit with an error if no token is included, so be sure to include a token 👻

- name: Post to a Slack channel
  uses: slackapi/slack-github-action@v2.0.0
  with:
    method: chat.postMessage
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}  # Here's the aforementioned token 
    payload: |
      channel: ${{ secrets.SLACK_CHANNEL_ID }}
      text: "howdy <@channel>!"

Going to close this issue with this latest release, but if this step isn't causing errors please feel free to comment or open another issue! 🙏
