The whole process is described here https://medium.com/@andrewarrow/how-to-get-slack-api-tokens-with-client-scope-e311856ebe9

Basically it is simple, just 2 steps, but it took me considerable time to find this know-how

i dont know how to send the channels parameter in users.admin.invite.
i'm currently sending the channels as a list like this
channels = ["C8687"]
and got this response {'ok': False, 'error': 'channel_not_found'}
How to send this paramter. FYI i'm using slack_client package in python.

I'm trying to use this for posting a /poll comand. '/poll "question" "yes"' doesn't work, but '/poll' works.
For the former i receive the following response {"ok":false,"error":"unknown_command"}. Any help with this?

Is there a doc for legacy API that invites a multi-channel guest to a new channel?
users.admin.invite only invites a new user and returns an error for an already registered user.

Getting following response:

{"ok": true, "response": "Oops, that didn\u2019t work. Try again, maybe?"}

Just noticed a commands.list request being used by Slack:

:method: POST
:path: /api/commands.list?_x_id=<someid>

As far as I can tell it returns a list of all available slash commands on our team

Hi, regarding the chat.command, are you aware if there is a way to create a legacy token for a app/bot user ? I seem to be only able to create it for my personal user...

We have a new slack account and can't seem to get channels.delete to work. It returns:

{
    "ok": false,
    "error": "missing_scope",
    "needed": "post",
    "provided": "admin,identify,commands,incoming-webhook,channels:history,mpim:history,channels:read,mpim:read,users:read,channels:write,mpim:write,users:write,users.profile:write"
}

Hello!
When user baceme to be deactivated (after using method users.admin.setInactive), is there any possibilities to active him using slackAPI?

In the documentation you say it requires scope:??
https://github.com/ErikKalkoken/slackApiDoc/blob/master/users.profile.set.md

What scope do I actually need to make this work?

I keep getting the following response when trying this:
{"ok":false,"error":"invalid_auth","warning":"superfluous_charset"}

And I have permissions for the following scopes:
users:read,users:write

The browser seems to be able to send API calls to files.unshare.
You might want to add that info to this repo.

The legacy token which is created for a workspace is to be used only by user or can it be used by a slack app?

The users.admin.invite API may return the invite_limit_reached error.

I am getting a "The command 'users.admin.setInactive' is not currently supported" returned from this endpoint, is there a new endpoint we should use instead for deactivating users?

I tried chat.command method with Slack bot token, but got an error of "missing_scope".
The token needed "post" scope. However, official documents show that "post" scope is deprecated. How can I make my BOT token have "post" scope?

I created slack app. and send slack app token.
but response is missing_scope.
this api is only use legacy token??
so user legacy token is only use???
how to send message poll using slack app.
please help me.

Hi,

I am getting this error while using this API.

Error: {"ok":false,"error":"no_perms"}

I am sending a test token, email and channel name properly.

The error does not list API error log documentation.

I use this WordPress plugin https://www.wpslacksync.com/.

Although I also trying to hit the API with token, email and channel directly in the browser HTTP. Same error encounter Error: {"ok":false,"error":"no_perms"}

Thanks

Sending requests with a legacy token for my user on a workspace I created, and with an email value i still always receive:

{
  "ok": false
  "error": "invalid_array_arg"
}

I noticed this today, but when I use the resend: true on the /api/users.admin.invite endpoint, it's no longer allowing me to resend invitations to emails with a pending invitation.

The response I get back from the API is:

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": "already_invited"
}

I've tried channels, first_name and last_name params from doc, but they don't work. User still need to enter full name and display name on registration screen and after registration user has only one default channel.
Probably slack team changed something.

We've added undocumented methods to https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-api-ref in slack-ruby/slack-api-ref#22, mostly pulled from here. It's machine readable JSON documentation, maybe we can combine these two projects?

Would love to see those in JSON format in https://github.com/slack-ruby/slack-api-ref so we can support them in the Ruby client.

I'm using the following method to invite a new user:

var slackTeam = "test";
var token = 'test'; 

var url = 'https://'+ slackTeam + '.slack.com/api/users.admin.invite';
fetch(url, { 
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
  body: 
  "token="+ token + 
  "&email=" + inputData.email +
  "&restricted "+ "1" +
  "&channels="+ "C9GJX4DC3,CAK2BTR1C,CAW19EWEN,C4U78KLDT,CAVA80GRE,C4BAV7VK8"+
  "&first_name "+ inputData.name +
  "&last_name "+ inputData.lastName +
  "&expiration_ts  "+ 1543582799 
})

But for some reason, all the invitations I'm sending are Full Members instead of guests. I also tried with "&restricted "+ "true" but still not working. I'm on a Standard plan . Anyone with the same issue?

Thanks!

You have files.delete in here.

It's documented here though: https://api.slack.com/methods/files.delete

Hi there!

It seems when i do a GET to disable a user it get "user not found".
When i export a workspace and i search for the ID (wich is unique) i CAN find the user.

Anyone else also having this issue? I cant seem to find the solution.

Kind regrads,
Graxo

When using the API https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite?token=token&email=email address&channels=channel id I am getting a error not allowed. I would think that this is still working since the repo was updated 22 days ago but wanted to be sure I am not missing anything.

Thanks!

Are you aware of any alternatives to users.admin.invite? With the deprecation of legacy tokens the only endpoint publicly listed is admin.users.invite, which is Pro/Enterprise only.

The Slack web UI uses the users.admin.inviteBulk endpoint, which might be a viable alternative. Example payload:

[{"email":"[email protected]","mode":"manual","type":"regular"}]

I would investigate this endpoint, but you're much more experienced at exploring undocumented Slack APIs than me.

Thank you for documenting these APIs! This is very helpful.

I've been attempting to use the users.admin.invite API but when I use my API token I'm getting a "not_allowed_token_type" error. Have you seen this before? I'm guessing I generated my token in an incorrect way so if you have any thoughts on where I should look to generate a new one I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

I'm trying to set invite expiry time via

expiration_ts

but getting error

expiration_requires_restricted

I'm guessing setting invite expiration is not available for free accounts?

I just got a already_in_team_invited_user error from users.admin.invite which sounds really strange, like what does this even mean...?

The user shows up as a "Full Member" on the Slack admin. So I guess it's more similar to already_in_team error.

I'm looking into a way to programmatically convert a public channel to private (in order to make something self-service for end users) and it looks like the undocumented conversations.convertToPrivate API method is what the browser calls in order to make a channel private.

It looks like the browser client sends token and channel values through form data in a POST call.

I got a channel_not_found error until I used the channel ID, rather than the channel name, in the list of channels a user should be auto-enrolled. I'm not sure if that's because it was a private channel, so am raising an issue rather than submitting a PR. Others might benefiting from being aware that they may need to use the ID, not the channel name.

I tried to use the "users.admin.setRestricted" or "setUltraRestricted" method as you explained with the "users.admin.invite", but I get the error:
Content : {"ok":false,"error":"not_allowed_token_type"}
I use the same token.
I am looking for the ability to change account types while avoiding the Slack Admin Interface.
Do you have any ideas on this?
Thanks!

I use invite new member and on any email i got error "invalid_email"!

{"ok":false,"error":"invalid_email"}

For example:
TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXX
curl -X GET https://slack.com/api/[email protected]&token=$TOKEN
#curl -X GET https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite?token=$TOKEN&[email protected]

But other is works
curl -s -X GET https://slack.com/api/channels.list?token=$TOKEN | jq '.' > channels.json

What is wrong?
