Path Finder

We are using the Slack App for Splunk Addon to capture login and messages data . Slack:Logins are coming in fine however Slack:Messages are having a problem and no data is seen on the index.

Upon checking logs under internal (index=_internal source=*splunkd.log slack *error*)  we are seeing the following errors for slack_messages.py

ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-slack/bin/slack_messages.py" ERRORlocal variable 'latest_message' referenced before assignment


ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-slack/bin/slack_messages.py" ERROR: 'channels'

Can anyone help about this issue.
