Credential configuration

To configure this credential you need the signingSecret and the bot token of your Slack app. You can see how to create an app and find the needed secrets here.

Optionally you can set any of the extra config params you can see here.

Here you have an example of a filled credential configuration form in YepCode:

The title is the triggering text for YepCode to autocomplete the script.

Excluding the Web Api, the rest of the slack bolt features have no place in yepcode due its nature.

Integration

New integration from credential

const app = await yepcode.integration.slackBolt("credential-slug")

New integration from plain authentication data

const { App } = require("@slack/bolt")

const app = new App({
  token: "my-token"
  signingSecret: "my-signing-secret"
})

Using the Web API

Lists channels

const listChannels = async () => {
  try {
    const { channels } = await app.client.conversations.list();
    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};
listChannels();

Retrieve messages

const retrieveChannelMessages = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await app.client.conversations.history({
      channel: "channel",
    });

    const { messages } = result.messages;

    console.log(messages);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};
retrieveChannelMessages();

Post a message

const postMessage = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await app.client.chat.postMessage({
      channel: "channel",
      text: "He who controls the Spice, controls the universe!",
    });
    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};
postMessage();

Upload a file

const { createReadStream } = require("fs");

const uploadAFile = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await app.client.files.upload({
      channels: "channel",
      initial_comment: "Here's my file :smile:",
      file: createReadStream("fileName"),
    });

    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};
uploadAFile();
