The SlackGPT is a Slack bot that summarizes conversations and sends you a summary per channel.
If you want to run it locally, you can use:
python slackgpt.pyOtherwise, fork the project, set up the GitHub secrets and you can leverage the GitHub action to run it automatically.
-
Go to Slack API page and create a new app.
-
Install the app in the workspace you are interested in summarizing Slack messages.
-
Get the User OAuth Token which exists in the Install App settings. This will be needed to use Slack's SDK. Set this value as the
SLACK_TOKENon a.envfile if you want to run the script locally or as a GitHub secret if you want to leverage the GitHub workflow.
-
Create a Webhook URL for your channel so that you can receive messages' summary. Set this value as the
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URLon a.envfile if you want to run the script locally or as a GitHub secret if you want to leverage the GitHub workflow. -
Depending on the type of access needed, different User Token Scopes need to be set. Here's the methods that we will need and the associated user token scopes.
-
conversations_history: This method retrieves a conversation's history of messages and events. It requires the channels:history scope for public channels, or groups:history for private channels and im:history for direct messages.
-
users_info: This method returns information about a user. It requires the users:read scope.
-
conversations_info: This method retrieves information about a conversation. It requires the channels:read scope for public channels, or groups:read for private channels and im:read for direct messages.
Go to OpenAI API page to extract the API key. Set this value as the OPENAI_API_KEY on a .env file if you want to run the script locally or as a GitHub secret if you want to leverage the GitHub workflow.
Get the Channel IDs that you are interested in reading messages from.
Set those values as the SLACK_CHANNEL_IDS on a .env file if you want to run the script locally or as a GitHub secret if you want to leverage the GitHub workflow. If you want to read from multiple channels you can set SLACK_CHANNEL_IDS with multiple IDs separated by commas (with no space), e.g. ABC123,DEF456,GHI789.
