Based on the instructions from the above link, I am able to make the python app work locally. However, I am not able to set up the VCAP_SERVICES environment value for it running in bluemix. My Questions:
- A VCAP_SERVICES value JSON example
- How to set it up in Bluemix App? I do not see an option to add/update the VCAP_SERVICES in the console. Is it due to my Trial account authority limitations?
Your link in the description is broken. Here is the URL to the documentation on Slack client integration for Watson Assistant Solutions https://watson-personal-assistant.github.io/developer/slack/about_slackbot/
Step 2 in the tutorial explains how to use a .env to set the environment variables. Here is the link to the documentation.

If you don't want to put user environment variables in a .env file IBM Cloud also allows you to define those as user defined variables. You can also use the command line option suggested by Henrik.
See the IBM Cloud documentation https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/watson/getting-started-variables.html#vcapServices
