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.
• locale: application language (currently en, de, es, fr, pt, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja and ko available).

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 git@github.com:outsideris/slack-invite-automation.git
$ cd slack-invite-automation
$ npm install
$ bin/www

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

Run with Docker

It's easy to run this service if you have installed Docker on your system.

$ git clone git@github.com:outsideris/slack-invite-automation.git
$ cd slack-invite-automation
$ docker build -t slack-invite-automation .
$ docker run -it --rm -e COMMUNITY_NAME="YOUR-TEAM-NAME" -e SLACK_URL="YOUR-TEAM.slack.com" -e SLACK_TOKEN="YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN" -p 3000:3000 slack-invite-automation
