slack-multiple-channel-inviter

This golang code invites multiple people to multiple channels.

It uses the https://github.com/slack-go/slack library.

You'll need to create a Slack app first.

https://api.slack.com/apps/

• Create New App
• From scratch
• Name something like "ChannelInviter" && Pick a workspace && Create App
• Basic Information -> Add features and functionality
  • Bots
  • Review Scopes to Add
  • Scopes -> Add an OAuth Scope

channels:join
channels:manage
channels:read
groups:read
groups:write
users:read

* scroll up to OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace
	* Install to Workspace
	* Capture the "Bot User OAuth Token" for use with this code

channels:join
channels:manage
channels:read
groups:read
groups:write
users:read

Capture the Bot User OAuth Token from https://api.slack.com/apps/ (choose your app, click on OAuth & Permissions, Bot User OAuth Token).

Prior to running this script, export the following environment variables:

# Set the verbosity of the output if you want to
export INVITER_VERBOSE=true

# The Bot User OAuth Toekn
export SLACK_TOKEN=

# Comma separated user names to invite
export SLACK_CHANNEL_USERS=

# Comma separated channel names to invite the SLACK_CHANNEL_USER to
export SLACK_CHANNELS=

Example:

go build
export SLACK_TOKEN=xoxb-...
export SLACK_CHANNEL_USERS=alice,bob,charlie,dawn
export SLACK_CHANNELS=random,memes,sales

# Show what will happen, but don't actually do it
./slack-channel-inviter --dry-run
