I need to create a new slack app which can trigger the execution of slack commands, for example - /topic NewTopic needs to be executed by my slack app.

This is kind of a duplicate to this and this, but these got concluded with chat.command undocumented method which make use of slack's legacy tokens, and slack warns against the use of legacy tokens.

So I am looking if there is any new way which can accomplish this task of being able to execute slack command programmatically from a slack app.

The only way currently to do this is to use the `chat.command` method as you had highlighted – Caleb Njiiri Apr 21 '20 at 17:11
@CalebNjiiri, I am able to execute slack command as user using the legacy token, how do I execute it as slack app? – Avin Apr 22 '20 at 04:41
Sorry, but no. There is no other way. Will therefore mark this question as duplicate. – Erik Kalkoken Apr 24 '20 at 21:05
