Slack OAuth Demo with a Simple Bot

A simple Slack app (slash command) demo that repeats what you say after a command, /echo.

Sure, this sounds like a useless demo, but the poupose of this example is to show how to implement an OAuth flow to distrubite your app.

Try this OAuth demo!

Cool. First, Fork this sample ("Remix on Glitch") to your own repo and get started!

🤖 1. Setting up and Developing a Bot

This tutorial explains how to get started with your Slack app as an internal integration (= the Slack app that runs only on your workspace).

See the step-by-step instructions at:

Setting up & Develop in your Dev Workspace - How to configure the EchoBot and install it on your testing Slack workspace

🗝 2. Distribute with OAuth

This tutorial explains how to distribute the app (i.e. convert your internal integration to an installable app).

See the step-by-step instructions at:

Distibute Your App: How to work with an OAuth Button - How to make the app installable to any Slack workspaces with an OAuth button

pairhorn's Issues

add a response to `/pairhorn help`

The response should tell the user about all the things one can do with the /pairhorn command

Clean up README

Remove all glitch-related README content and replace it with instruction manual

Add team aliases

Add [team alias] option to /pairhorn slash command

This command will allow users to set an alias for their entire team and randomly generate pairs without listing everyone in the command

To do:

• allow users to save their team under a 'team alias'
• allow users to call /pairhorn [team alias] and return a randomly generated list of pairs of people on that team

Move Pairhorn off of Glitch

Glitch is great, but this project needs to be up full time for best user experience.

Consider using Now by ZEIT to keep the app serverless, but any and all suggestions are welcome!
