I cannot find Alpaca Slack app in the app directory ([https://www.slack.com/apps](https://www.slack.com/apps)) and the link on the website [Alpaca for Slack - Documentation | Alpaca](https://alpaca.markets/docs/alpaca-works-with/alpaca-for-slack/) is missing. Moreover, when using the pre-installed app in community channel I keep getting an error: `/alpaca failed with the error "ssl_cacert"` when trying to interact with the bot. Has anyone had similar problems and knows of a solution? Thanks!
