@harshbhardwaj29 so this is not a deno-slack-sdk issue, is it? You are using bolt for javascript, therefore this is not an automation workflow question. Is that correct? You are creating a granular bot token app, by creating an app via api.slack.com/apps, etc.?

@filmaj As canvas functions are part of deno-slack-sdk, i would like to know, if it possible to create using slack bolt or web-api Sdks

Canvas APIs are not exposed via HTTP at this time, like our other methods are. The only way to access these APIs at this time is by using the workflow automations Slack built-in functions by building it either using the deno-slack-sdk or by building a workflow in Workflow Builder directly.

If this is a feature that you would like access to, I recommend emailing [e-mail] and mentioning you are emailing to ask for Canvas HTTP APIs. This would surface your request to the decision makers at Slack who can impact this most directly.
