channels.join is not allowed for bot users. I would like my RTM-using bot to listen to channels other than the one listed in the bot integration page.
I don't see a way to change the channels in the bot integration page:
Is this just a limitation of bots or am I missing something fundamental here?

You may see Slackbot in channels throughout your workspace, delivering reminders and automated messages for you and your teammates. When there's a reminder or a message just for you, Slackbot will send you a DM. You can access your DM with Slackbot the same way you would find a DM with anyone else in your workspace.
Installation* Create your chatbot story. * Go to Slack integration and sign in with your Slack account. * Click Add bot to Slack button. * Select the story you want to use in this integration with and chose one Slack channel for your bot to live on.
I had the same issue and wasnt sure why my bot was only listening to certain channels.
Your bot will need to be invited to each channel by a user. Run this command within the required channel in the Slack app to do so
/invite @<your_bot_name> Once in the channel they should then be able to listen to events.
