Slack Invite Automation

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.

Setting

fill out config.js as your infomation.

• 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

Run

Node.js is required.

$ git clone [email protected]:outsideris/slack-invite-automation.git
$ cd slack-invite-automation
$ npm install
$ bin/www

You can access http://localhost:3000 on your web browser.
