By comparison I am currently doing some work with Google Chat of all things. If your bot is in a Space (channel/grouo) it only gets webhooks when someone @-mentions it.

I poked around with doing a Slack bot recently and the hoops for an app were many and confusing. Not Google credentials level but more than I cared for.
