Update files.upload Documentation on Slack API Website for files.uploadV2 about node-slack-sdk

[seratch]

Thank you so much for taking the time to send this feedback! Indeed, the api document page should have links to v2 information such as https://slack.dev/node-slack-sdk/web-api#upload-a-file and https://slack.dev/python-slack-sdk/web/index.html#files

I will talk to the team maintaining the site.

Hi @seratch I tried using uploadV2 method but my channels cannot be found unlike v1 where I would not need to write my channel id. Can I ask if such capabilities of using channel name instead of channel id be added? the original v1 allows for channel name and channel id. Can I ask this capability be replicated?

@caramelmelmel Unfortunately, there is no plan to enable developers to pass a channel name instead of channel ID to the v2 API endpoints. Only long-lived APIs such as chat.postMessage and files.upload allow channel name as the parameter to specify what the channel is. A channel name can be renamed at any time, therefore it's not robust enough for long term maintenance. For this reason, newer endpoints accept only channel IDs and that's the same for the v2 file uploading functionality. I understand this is not convenient for you, but it'd be appreciated if you could understand this.
