A tiny web application to invite a user into your slack team.
Inspired by How I hacked Slack into a community platform with Typeform and Socket.io's slack page.
fill out config.js
as your information.
-
community
: your community or team name to display on join page. -
slackUrl
: your slack team url (ex: socketio.slack.com) -
slacktoken
: access token of slack. You can generate it in https://api.slack.com/web#auth. You should generate the token in admin user, not owner. If you generate the token in owner user,missing_scope
error will be occurred. -
inviteToken
: an optional security measure - if it is set, then that token will be required to get invited. Intended to be provided in person or on a whiteboard or something.You can test your token via curl:
curl -X POST 'https://YOUR-SLACK-TEAM.slack.com/api/users.admin.invite' \ --data 'email=EMAIL&token=TOKEN&set_active=true' \ --compressed
Node.js is required.
$ git clone [email protected]:outsideris/slack-invite-automation.git
$ cd slack-invite-automation
$ npm install
$ bin/www
Use heroku local
to run a local dev environment. To do this you will want to set up a .env file that contains the environment variables from Heroku. Make sure the .env file does not get committed to the repo.
You can access http://localhost:3000 on your web browser.
