Does the `slack_v2-send-message-to-channel` post messages using the Pipedream app/bot identity and can it be configured to post as the connected user?

Hi Team,
We are evaluating the Slack integration actions and noticed a difference in how messages are posted to Slack depending on the action used.
From our testing:
• slack_v2-send-message-to-channel appears to post messages using the Pipedream Slack app/bot identity.
• slack_v2-post-message appears to post messages as the connected Slack user.
Could you confirm whether this understanding is correct?
Additionally, we’d like to know if slack_v2-send-message-to-channel can be configured to post messages as the connected user, or if it is designed to always post using the Pipedream app/bot identity.
Understanding this behavior will help us determine which action is most appropriate for our use case.
Thanks!

You can set send_as_user in the configured_props payload for slack_v2-send-message-to-channel if you’d like to send as the user (it defaults to sending as the bot).

That might actually just be a miss re: slack_v2-post-message only letting you send as the user, ideally that would provide the same option.
