To start
-
Download and install Slack.alfredworkflow

Create a custom app for your team following these steps.
-
Once you have your client ID and Secret, visit the address https://yannickglt.github.io/alfred-slack/ to generate a unique code for authentication in the Workflow.
- Enter your team name in the first field and your client ID in the second one, then click on the button "Generate code".
- Authorize the app to access your Slack team with the rights below.
- Copy your generated unique code in your clipboard.
-
Launch the slack workflow with the parameter
--add-client
followed by the concatenation of the generated unique code and client Secret separated by a colon (e.g.:UNIQUE_CODE:CLIENT_SECRET
). You can add several clients if you want to collaborate with several teams. You just need to repeat the two last steps.Example:
slack --add-client 1234567890.123456789012|1234567890.123456789012.abcdef1234:1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
-
Launch the cache refresh by taping the command
--refresh
.Example:
slack --refresh
The cache refresh may take up to several minutes depending on your organization size.
-
Enjoy!
Note: install the Packal Updater workflow if you want automatic updates.
