🚤 improve performance for large slack accounts

If you are a large organisation with 1000s of conversations, the previous implementation fetched information about the creator via the user rest call. The problem is that the slack api heavily rate limits the user rest call.

This change makes the creator information asynchronous and therefore allows much speedier fetching of the conversations. This avoids reaching the rate limit.
