Create App

This app works by using slack's Socket Mode connection protocol.

To get started, you must have or create a Slack App and enable Socket Mode, which will generate your app token (SLACK_APP_TOKEN and SLCK_BOT_TOKEN) that will be needed to authenticate.

Additionally, you need to subscribe to events for your bot to respond to under the Event Subscriptions section. Common event subscriptions for bots include app_mention or message.im.

After setting up your subscriptions, add scopes necessary to your bot in the OAuth & Permissions. The following scopes are recommended for getting started, though you may need to add/remove scopes depending on your bots purpose:

  • app_mentions:read
  • channels:history
  • chat:write
  • groups:history
  • im:history
  • mpim:history

Once you've selected your scopes install your app to the workspace and navigate back to the OAuth & Permissions section. Here you can retrieve yor bot's OAuth token (SLACK_BOT_TOKEN in the examples) from the top of the page.
