[QUERY] Kind of confused about which sdk would best suit our needs

Question
Hey so I read through - https://api.slack.com/automation/deploy but this doesn't mention anything about making our apps be installable for people from other orgs (on their own workspaces).
Context
We are want to develop an app as an additional service to our external website which allows users to chat with a bot from inside of slack. Given our needs what would be best - the deno sdk or the bolt platform?
Hey @aryabhatta-dey thanks for writing in!
At this time, the automation platform does not support installing the app by others into their workspace, unless others are able to do so via the CLI tooling themselves. For example, if your app was to be open sourced on GitHub, then this would be possible, as another developer could clone it and using the Slack CLI themselves, install it onto their workspace.
So I would direct you to using the existing Slack platform, creating a new app, using Bolt (or some other Slack app framework) to structure your app, and going from there.
Hey thnx for the quick reply. You can close this!
