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.

Deploy to Heroku Deploy to Azure

Settings

Local

Create a file in the root called .env with the following key/value pairs. .env files are added to the .gitignore.

  • COMMUNITY_NAME : Your community or team name to display on join page.
  • SLACK_URL : Your slack team url (ex: socketio.slack.com)
  • SLACK_TOKEN : Your access token for slack.
    • You can generate it in https://api.slack.com/web#auth. You should generate the token as an admin user, not owner. If you generate the token in owner user, a missing_scope error may occur.
  • INVITE_TOKEN: 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).

Sample

COMMUNITY_NAME=socketio
SLACK_URL=socketio.slack.com
SLACK_TOKEN=ffsdf-5411524512154-16875416847864648976-45641654654654654-444334f43b34566f
INVITE_TOKEN=abcdefg
LOCAL=en

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
Heroku / Azure

Add the application settings that are defined above for the local .env file.

Run

Node.js is required.

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

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
