	"fmt"  
	"log"  

	"github.com/pramithamj/slack-sdk-go/pkg/slack"  
)  

func main() {  
	// Replace with your actual Slack Bot Token  
	token := "xoxb-your-slack-bot-token"  
	sdk := slack.NewSlackSDK(token)  

	channel := "C123456789" // Slack channel ID  
	message := "Hello, Slack from Go SDK!"  

	response, err := sdk.SendMessage(channel, message)  
	if err != nil {  
		log.Fatalf("Error sending message: %v", err)  
	}  

	fmt.Printf("Message sent successfully: %v\n", response)  
}
