poshcode / invite

This is the automatic invitation system (from tech404) we're going to use for PowerShell.Slack.com

tech404 inviter

The application behind the tech404 automatic invitation system

Usage

POST /invitations

To enqueue an invitation request:

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"email\":\"[email protected]\"}" \
  http://localhost:3000/invitations

The route is meant to be used by a JavaScript client. You can whitelist CORS origins in config/application.rb.

Development

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL: brew install postgresql
• Redis: brew install redis

Required Configuration

Configuration items are stored in environment variables.

• SLACK_SUBDOMAIN: e.g., tech404 for tech404.slack.com
• SLACK_TOKEN: an API token for an administrator of the organization
• SIDEKIQ_USERNAME: username for the sidekiq administration area
• SIDEKIQ_PASSWORD: password for the sidekiq administration area

Deployment

Deployed on Heroku. Ask @alindeman for access. In production, we run a puma process in the same dyno as a sidekiq worker. It's a hack to keep it free.

invite's Issues

Configure And Deploy for PowerShell.Slack.com

We need to get this set up (on heroku?) for our slack site. That's all.
