slack

I'm writing a simple slack bot which should execute other slack commands upon being called. Everything is up and running, however the slack commands this bot issues don't seem to be executed. For instance my bot posts /giphy kitten every hour and the message appears just like that in the channel (so the sending side seems to work), but the slash command itself isn't executed. If I post the same command into the same channel myself it works as expected. Are bots not allowed to execute slash commands? Erik Kalkoken Bots can use the undocumented API method chat.command to invoke slash commands.

I am trying to use slash commands to my one of the slack channel. I tried to do a POC using git API and it worked fine. I first created a slash command from this link : https://api.slack.com/censored/slash-commands Commnad: /poc Request URL: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts This worked fine when I type /opc on slack chat box of my channel. It returns some data. But when I change the Request URL to an internal API, which is accessible only from the office domain, I get error: Darn – that slash command didn't work (error message: Failure when receiving data from the peer ). Manage the

I need help with uploading files to Slack. I have a Slack-App that is working with my code(below) so far. But all I can do is post messages. I can not attach images to the messages - because I do not understand how to use the so called "methods" and the syntax Slack is "showing" on their API-page. This creates my "content" and below its just a Stream for reading a file I could upload: public class PostMessage { public FormUrlEncodedContent Content(string message, string file) { var values = new Dictionary<string, string> { {"token", "xoxp-myToken"}, { "username", "X"}, { "channel", "myChannel"

I created a slack dialog/form to collect some information from users; The form renders just fine and I can fill out the form without a problem but it doesn't close after I click Submit, instead it gives an error: We had some trouble connecting. Try again? I've already sent back a 200 status OK as in the documentation . // menu is the end point of my interactive messages app.post('/menu', (req, res) => { console.log('from form submission:', req.body.payload) res.sendStatus(200); }) What could be wrong? I can see the console log for my app, fyi. Sending a 200 OK is not enough. It also has to be

I want to send some custom properties in the attachment for interactive messages and retrieve them back in the action response. is there a way to do this? Yes, that is possible. However, it only works well for small sets of data. Assuming we are talking about buttons the normal approach would be to use the value field of an action to transfer custom data based on which button the user clicked back to your app. The field is a normal string within a JSON message, which is send by POST request to your app. So it can in principle contain a whole data set, not only a single value. All you need to

How is it possible to send message in slack directly to the user, by user.id as application. this application has scope: bot,channels:write,emoji:read,users:read,users:read.email I find how to send message only as DM or by webhooks, but there is no scope for that. Any one has idea? If I understand your question correctly, you want to send direct messages to users in the app channel instead of the standard slackbot channel. In order to do that you need to Your app needs the bot scope and a bot user Open a direct message channel from your app with the user with im.open . You get back a direct
