In order to use tasks in the collection, you'll first need to create an Slack app and install it in your Slack workspace. You can create a Slack app by navigating to the apps page for your Slack account and selecting 'Create New App'.

For tasks that require a Bot user OAuth token, you can get a token for your app by navigating to your apps OAuth & Permissions page.

For tasks that require and Webhook URL, you get generate new Webhook URLs by navigating to you apps Incoming Webhooks page.

Slack's Basic app setup guide provides additional details on setting up a Slack app.
