Is there any way with the current API to send a message without responding?

If so, how would I do it, and can I request the documentation be updated? (I may update it myself and submit a PR if I figure out how.)

I have this kind of behavior in AtlassianBot. You can take a look on JiraNotifierBot in https://github.com/gpailler/AtlassianBot/blob/master/plugins/jira.py#L149

reduce rate limiting.

Functional testing has been added.

Updated README.md with how to use the new
functionality.

Resolves scrapinghub#92.

That's for the bot to send a message to a channel. Unless I'm wrong I don't see how it is that related with this issue.

I implemented it thusly:

client = slackbot.bot.SlackClient(API_TOKEN)
client.rtm_send_message(client.find_channel_by_name(channel_name), message_string)
