How to appear not as "Zapier" in Slack's channel

I created a flow to send a reply message to a Slack channel. 

 

As you can see in the screenshot, the bot’s name appears as “Zapeir” in the channel outside the thread. Inside the thread, it will appear as my custom name set up in the flow.

 

Anyone knows how to make the outside appears as if answered by “Kiwi FAQ”?

 

Thank you!

Hi @OliveiraHero 

The only way you can do it I think is by creating an app “https://api.slack.com/apps” and using that connection to post into Slack. However that is a lengthy and developer centric process and you will also need to build custom Oauth2 connection + app in Zapier to be be able to send messages.
