Slack Reaction Notification

🥳 Get desktop notifications for Slack emoji reactions

Install the browser extension, you'll be prompted to login with your Slack account. Everytime someone will react to one of your message, you'll get a short notification.

TODO:

• Add a mute option
• Configurable notification time

Use your own Slack application

If for privacy reason you want to use your own Slack application, you'll need to:

• create a classic app (in order to use the RTM API)
• deployed a small Node.js server to initiate OAuth2 authentication
• build the web extension (Firefox, Chrome, EdgeHTML)

1. Create your Slack app

Follow this link to create your app: https://api.slack.com/apps?new_classic_app=1

In the OAuth section, set the Redirect URLs to:

• http://localhost:4242/callback (for development purposes)
• https://YOUR_DOMAIN/callback (your small node production server)

Set the following scopes:

• channels:history
• channels:read
• reactions:read
• users.profile:read

2. Deploy the Node.js server

Node.js server code is located in the node/ folder. Deploy the app, and create a .env file in the node/ folder with your app credentials:

SLACK_CLIENT_ID=***
SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET=***
SLACK_REDIRECT_URI=http://***/callback

3. Build the web extension

Create a .env file at the root of the project with the Node server URI:

SLACK_OAUTH_URL=http://localhost:4242

Run npm run build to build the extension.

slack-reactions-notification's Issues

"Connect With Slack" in settings does nothing

"Connect With Slack" in settings does nothing
is it known issue?

Connect with slack is broken

On Chrome, the button does nothing. On Firefox, it opens https://slack-reactions.pixelloagency.dev (with a GET parameter) but this domain does not have A records AFAICT (which isn't just true for the sub-domain, but for the whole pixelloagency.dev domain)
