"I'm not in this chat yet"

Slack says: I'm not in this chat yet. Please, invite me first. (The invite will be public)

Before using Anonymous Bot you (or someone else) needs to invite the bot to the channel.
Inviting bots or people is a public action: Slack automatically sends a message like "Anonymous Bot was added to #general by username."

"You are not allowed to send anonymous messages."

The Team Plan has a feature to restrict access for some users.
If you got this message, it means you are in the black list (or not in the white list).
Only your team admin can change this.
