Rename Slack Channel


I’m trying to rename a channel in Slack.  The error I get when testing the Webhooks by Zapier is “Not_Authorized” 

I’ve created an app in Slack called “Rename Slack Channel”.  This app has scopes channels:manage and channel:read.  I’ve double checked the bot OAuth Token.  Here’s a screen shot of my Webhooks step.  I’ve already tried using static values for the Channel ID and the New Data value - those aren’t the problem.  I don’t know what else to try or what more information I can provide.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.rename

https://api.slack.com/methods/admin.conversations.rename
