This workload will perform the following interactions:
Start Slack for Windows; ensure it's started.
Look for the Sign In button, but move on if it's not found.
If the sign-in button is present, it will process the defined sign-in process, with the defined user credentials, into the defined workspace.
If the Sign In button is not present, then the script will assume the workspace is already logged in and just continue with the defined workload actions thereafter.
Interact with the logged-in version of Slack desktop, verifying it has opened successfully to the landing page.
Open the defined Slack channel name by clicking on it.
Click on the new message field after the defined Slack channel has been opened.
Send test messages, with the defined loop amount, into the Slack channel via the message field.
Close out of Slack for Windows.
