Ansible Tower - slack module gives me Permission Denied error.

[tom.m...@atlanticbt.com]

any input/guidance is much appreciated.

not sure where the failure is at, but here is my playbook:

---
- hosts:
    - all

  tasks:
    - name: Send starting notification via Slack
      local_action:
        module: "slack"
        token: "{{ slack_token }}"
        msg:  "The Tower server is starting a deployment to {{ site_url }}."
        username: "DeployBot"
        icon_emoji: ":code-deploy:"
        channel: "#proj-myproject"

    - name: Send ending notification via Slack
      local_action:
        module: slack
        token: "{{ slack_token }}"
        msg:  "The Tower server has completed a deployment to the {{ site_url }} site"
        username: DeployBot
        icon_emoji: ":code-deploy:"
        channel:  "#proj-myproject"

here is my tower output:
