$ git clone https://github.com/rladies/slack-invite-automation.git
$ cd slack-invite-automation
$ npm install
$ npm start

You can access http://localhost:3000 on your web browser.

Issue token

You should generate the token in admin user, not owner. If you generate the token in owner user, a missing_scope error may occur.

There are two ways to issue the access token.

OAuth tokens

1. Visit https://api.slack.com/apps and Create New App.

   

2. Click "Permissions".

   

3. In "OAuth & Permissions" page, select admin scope under "Permission Scopes" menu and save changes.

   

4. Click "Install App to Workspace".

   

5. Visit https://slack.com/oauth/authorize?&client_id=CLIENT_ID&team=TEAM_ID&install_redirect=install-on-team&scope=admin+client in your browser and authorize it.

   • It authorizes the client permission. Otherwise, you can see {"ok":false,"error":"missing_scope","needed":"client","provided":"admin"} error.
   • Your TEAM_ID is the subdomain for your slack team, e.g. myteam.slack.com - your TEAM_ID is myteam.
   • Your CLIENT_ID found in "Basic Information" section for your App.
