How to make a Slack app independent of my account

I'm making a Slack app (basic webhook for our CI to send Slack updates) to replace one that broke/disappeared when a colleague who created the Slack app left the company. But I realized, won't the app I'm making need to be replaced again when I one day leave the company (since it seems Slack apps are tied to the creator's account)?

So is there a way that I can setup this Slack app independent of my account so that it wouldn't be deleted with my work Slack account?

The best practice to do so is by creating a Service Account.
(Service accounts are a special type of non-human privileged account used to execute applications and run automated services, virtual machine instances, and other processes.)


Use this 'Service Account' for creating new apps and add people working on these apps as 'Collaborators'.
