WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:00.920 Okay. 00:00.960 --> 00:02.880 Welcome to Slack Time. 00:03.000 --> 00:10.920 We are now going to do our third and most hardcore integration to the business messaging platform slack. 00:11.440 --> 00:17.920 And you would need to have a workspace, a slack workspace where you have admin permissions to set up 00:17.920 --> 00:19.560 an app, which you might not do. 00:19.680 --> 00:22.840 And if you don't, then just follow along and see what I do. 00:22.880 --> 00:27.360 As a way of getting some experience with OAuth two types of integrations. 00:27.360 --> 00:30.040 If you do, then maybe make one with me. 00:30.440 --> 00:35.680 But here I am in my my own workspace where I have admin permissions because I have this admin thing 00:35.680 --> 00:36.160 here. 00:36.160 --> 00:41.440 And the first thing I'm going to do is go down to apps and workflows and select this, which is where 00:41.440 --> 00:47.840 we go into the app side of slack, because we are going to set up a slack app and slack bot. 00:47.880 --> 00:48.280 Okay. 00:48.280 --> 00:54.760 And so when I press this up comes a web browser and it's on this page here installed apps, and you'll 00:54.760 --> 00:59.800 see a couple of apps that are installed in my workspace, which is my previous attempts to do this. 00:59.840 --> 01:04.450 I've now done it twice successfully, but with with much, uh, much frustration. 01:04.450 --> 01:07.370 But but I did make it work, and so can you. 01:07.730 --> 01:08.130 All right. 01:08.130 --> 01:09.210 The first thing to know. 01:09.250 --> 01:11.970 And sometimes this takes me ages to remember. 01:11.970 --> 01:12.890 This is where it is. 01:13.010 --> 01:14.290 Is that on the top right. 01:14.290 --> 01:15.530 Here you go. 01:15.570 --> 01:16.130 You see that? 01:16.130 --> 01:18.050 There's this navigation over here. 01:18.050 --> 01:20.930 And the first step is to go to build over here. 01:21.090 --> 01:23.610 Uh, so you go over to build. 01:23.610 --> 01:29.570 And when you do that, you come to this screen, which is where there's a screen with a create new app 01:29.570 --> 01:30.170 button. 01:30.210 --> 01:35.410 And that's the one to do create a new app and you select from scratch. 01:35.850 --> 01:36.850 Choose that. 01:36.890 --> 01:38.370 You give it a name. 01:38.370 --> 01:43.930 And this is where I'm going to give it a name of Nate N3 because this is my third time. 01:44.170 --> 01:44.970 All right. 01:44.970 --> 01:46.650 So far so good okay. 01:46.690 --> 01:51.770 And then select a workspace and you have one and then create app. 01:52.170 --> 01:52.970 Here we go. 01:53.010 --> 01:54.890 It's created an app. 01:55.130 --> 01:57.210 And there's stuff in here. 01:57.570 --> 02:00.970 And there's a lot a lot to to to navigate. 02:00.970 --> 02:06.980 There's tons of stuff over here that we are going to be be working on now as we go through this, and 02:06.980 --> 02:11.100 we're going to need to know many of these IDs, because many of them we're going to need to be setting 02:11.100 --> 02:14.340 up when we come to Na ten. 02:14.980 --> 02:16.260 So let's get started. 02:16.300 --> 02:22.300 The first place to go, and perhaps the single most important one is this one OAuth and permissions, 02:22.300 --> 02:23.420 which is where we'll head now. 02:23.460 --> 02:25.300 Okay OAuth and permissions. 02:25.420 --> 02:26.300 Up it comes. 02:26.580 --> 02:32.540 So what we're going to need to do is first of all uh set up what's called scopes. 02:32.580 --> 02:37.460 Now scopes is a standard feature of of this this technology OAuth. 02:37.500 --> 02:43.020 This way that that applications can authenticate themselves against another application. 02:43.060 --> 02:47.860 And scope is saying what is someone entitled to do if they connect this way. 02:48.140 --> 02:55.660 And we have to add in different OAuth scopes for our bot that governs what our app is able to do. 02:55.860 --> 02:59.180 So we're going to click here add OAuth scopes. 02:59.180 --> 03:04.240 And this is where you'll see a large number of different things that we could say our bot is going to 03:04.240 --> 03:09.800 be allowed to do, and I'm going to just show you what the six things are that we need it to be able 03:09.800 --> 03:11.440 to do, and you're just going to put them in. 03:11.560 --> 03:16.240 And I discovered these by not having enough in there and having problems and then coming back and adding 03:16.240 --> 03:16.680 them in. 03:16.680 --> 03:19.680 But there are probably better ways to discover exactly what you need. 03:19.680 --> 03:23.640 But the first one I'm going to do is called app Mentions read. 03:23.640 --> 03:27.560 And as you start typing it filters so you can select it as it says. 03:27.560 --> 03:35.280 That means that that hour is going to be able to read messages directly that that we tag the app in. 03:35.280 --> 03:37.360 So that is done okay. 03:37.400 --> 03:39.520 And now we go to scopes and we press add again. 03:39.520 --> 03:40.480 And we're going to add some more. 03:40.480 --> 03:45.000 We're going to add channels history this one right here okay. 03:45.200 --> 03:46.680 And then we press the add again. 03:46.680 --> 03:48.920 And we're going to do channels read. 03:49.880 --> 03:50.640 Fine. 03:50.760 --> 03:51.480 So far so good. 03:51.480 --> 03:52.240 We're halfway. 03:52.440 --> 03:54.680 We're going to say chat right. 03:54.680 --> 03:58.120 That means it can send messages as and three for you. 03:58.160 --> 03:59.640 It will just be Na ten I imagine. 04:00.280 --> 04:04.850 And now we're going to have Um, I am colon history. 04:04.850 --> 04:11.290 I am colon history, which means that it can view messages that others that in any channels that Nan 04:11.330 --> 04:12.330 has been added to. 04:12.690 --> 04:18.930 And then the last one is going to be users colon read view the people in a workspace. 04:18.970 --> 04:20.650 Okay there we go. 04:20.690 --> 04:24.090 We've set all of these scopes that are going to be permitted. 04:24.370 --> 04:29.330 And then we have to press this install to add button which will be installed to. 04:29.330 --> 04:34.770 And then the name of your workspace, which is saying that that this is now going to allow this OAuth 04:34.770 --> 04:35.650 integration. 04:35.650 --> 04:37.130 So I press that button. 04:37.170 --> 04:38.130 Stuff happens. 04:38.170 --> 04:41.130 Allow NH3 app to access slack. 04:41.410 --> 04:42.690 And you say allow. 04:43.010 --> 04:45.250 And that should happen. 04:45.410 --> 04:46.730 And that has been created. 04:46.730 --> 04:50.730 And we now have this bot user token. 04:50.730 --> 04:53.530 That's a big deal to have that okay. 04:53.730 --> 04:54.490 Onwards. 04:54.690 --> 05:00.090 The other section that we have to look at is the next one down event subscriptions. 05:00.330 --> 05:02.940 So you select this Okay. 05:03.100 --> 05:04.460 What is this about? 05:04.540 --> 05:06.620 So this is how we tell slack. 05:06.820 --> 05:14.180 There are some situations when we are going to want you to make a call out to a call out externally, 05:14.380 --> 05:15.780 like it's going to call a trigger. 05:16.060 --> 05:18.300 Uh, and so we're going to turn this on. 05:18.340 --> 05:24.700 We want to enable events, and we are going to tell uh, slack where it should go. 05:24.740 --> 05:30.820 We're going to give it a URL, which it should hit in order to wake up N810 and say, hey, N810, something 05:30.820 --> 05:34.500 is coming in from slack and we will come back to that. 05:34.860 --> 05:40.540 But we also have to tell it what what events, what things do we want to happen in slack that should 05:40.540 --> 05:41.460 trigger this? 05:41.500 --> 05:48.460 And that's where we say subscribe to bot events and we click Add Bot User Event right here. 05:48.580 --> 05:56.900 And we're going to do app underscore mention subscribe only to the message events that mention your 05:56.900 --> 05:58.180 app or bot. 05:58.740 --> 05:59.340 Okay. 05:59.660 --> 06:00.620 That is what we've done. 06:00.620 --> 06:03.190 We've we've put in this the subscription in here. 06:03.190 --> 06:04.550 And we've turned this on. 06:04.990 --> 06:06.790 We've put in place some of the plumbing. 06:06.790 --> 06:08.630 It's time to go to Nw10. 06:08.790 --> 06:09.590 All right. 06:09.830 --> 06:11.510 It's time for us to do this. 06:11.510 --> 06:14.910 So first up we have to press the Create Workflow button. 06:14.910 --> 06:17.350 And we come in here and we add a first step. 06:17.350 --> 06:22.230 We type slack and it's going to be a trigger. 06:22.390 --> 06:26.390 And we're going to want to trigger on bot app mention. 06:26.750 --> 06:27.870 That's what we want. 06:27.910 --> 06:28.830 Let's do it. 06:29.270 --> 06:30.590 Select credential. 06:30.590 --> 06:32.430 Create a new credential. 06:32.430 --> 06:37.870 Always the first step first thing to do is to put in an access token. 06:37.870 --> 06:39.470 So what is this going to be. 06:39.470 --> 06:41.870 Well for this we need to go back to slack again. 06:41.870 --> 06:43.470 So here we are back in slack. 06:43.470 --> 06:45.350 We're on our ten three. 06:45.390 --> 06:47.310 We're in our apps. 06:47.630 --> 06:50.750 And we're going to go back to OAuth and permissions. 06:50.990 --> 06:54.430 And this is the bot user OAuth token. 06:54.430 --> 06:56.270 And we're going to copy this. 06:56.670 --> 06:57.750 Uh okay. 06:58.110 --> 06:59.990 Now we're going to go back to here. 06:59.990 --> 07:04.440 We're going to go in here and paste that key in there and press save. 07:04.880 --> 07:07.840 Testing connection tested successfully. 07:07.840 --> 07:09.680 That's an important first step. 07:10.120 --> 07:11.960 Now look, there is another thing you can do too. 07:12.000 --> 07:17.440 You can put in a signature secret here, which it does recommend that you do to make the interaction 07:17.440 --> 07:18.280 more secure. 07:18.400 --> 07:25.760 And if you want to do that, then you can you come into here, you go to the basic information and you 07:25.760 --> 07:29.480 can add in a, you can copy the signing secret and put it in there. 07:29.480 --> 07:32.960 But I found I had technical problems with this, so I'm not going to do it. 07:32.960 --> 07:37.520 But if you want to, you can it will give you that extra level of security and you might have to debug 07:37.520 --> 07:39.240 it if it doesn't work at first. 07:39.680 --> 07:40.240 Okay. 07:40.400 --> 07:41.200 So back we go. 07:41.200 --> 07:45.640 Now here let's let's continue to set up this trigger. 07:45.880 --> 07:46.720 All right. 07:46.720 --> 07:49.960 So now we're going to go back back here again. 07:50.200 --> 07:55.920 And we are going to select which channel we want to watch. 07:56.240 --> 07:58.320 That is the important next step. 07:58.520 --> 08:01.080 And before we do that we'll have to go back to slack. 08:01.280 --> 08:07.740 All right so here we are back in slack again, and I'm going to create a new channel by uh, going to 08:07.860 --> 08:11.500 uh, to, to you can see Ngn3 has appeared as a new app. 08:11.500 --> 08:17.100 By the way, I'm going to go to channels, go here and say create a channel, and I'm going to call 08:17.100 --> 08:23.100 this convo three because I've had a few of these already, but you can just call your channel convo 08:23.100 --> 08:28.780 or whatever you want next, and then I'm just going to I'm going to leave it as a public channel for 08:28.780 --> 08:30.700 for this workspace and press create. 08:30.700 --> 08:32.820 And there is convo three. 08:33.180 --> 08:37.060 And now you can choose to invite people to convo three. 08:37.220 --> 08:41.540 I'm going to I'm going to skip for now because we're going to do it right here and now within the convo 08:41.540 --> 08:46.460 three channel I'm going to do slash invite at Nan3. 08:46.660 --> 08:52.380 That is how I invite the uh, the bot and and three into this channel. 08:52.700 --> 08:53.460 It's there. 08:53.820 --> 08:55.620 Okay, one more thing I'm going to do. 08:55.620 --> 09:00.100 I'm going to go up here to the triple dots to the more actions. 09:00.100 --> 09:04.390 I'm going to click in this and I'm going to go to Edit Edit Settings. 09:04.630 --> 09:06.550 And these are the settings for this channel. 09:06.550 --> 09:08.350 And I'm going to scroll down. 09:08.550 --> 09:13.470 And somewhere here I am going to see I think it's under about sorry under about. 09:13.510 --> 09:14.390 Here it is. 09:14.430 --> 09:18.750 There is a channel ID and I'm going to copy that to the clipboard. 09:19.350 --> 09:20.710 It took me a while to find that. 09:20.710 --> 09:21.310 So there we go. 09:21.350 --> 09:23.830 We have the channel ID copied to the clipboard. 09:23.870 --> 09:25.110 Are you following all this. 09:25.110 --> 09:28.270 So we've now got the channel ID to convo three in the clipboard. 09:28.270 --> 09:32.670 Convo three this channel has the bot n8 m3 in it. 09:32.830 --> 09:35.030 Now back to N810. 09:35.310 --> 09:36.630 Here we are back at N810. 09:36.670 --> 09:37.870 You're getting dizzy from this. 09:37.910 --> 09:39.750 It's one way and the other way. 09:40.230 --> 09:42.070 Select the channel to watch. 09:42.190 --> 09:49.470 We go to the drop down here we say by ID and in here we paste that channel ID that we've just done. 09:49.710 --> 09:57.030 And there we have now, uh, selected this this channel as, as uh, the right channel to be listening 09:57.070 --> 09:57.430 to. 09:58.190 --> 10:01.630 Okay, there's one more step and it's a pretty big one. 10:01.630 --> 10:03.990 And we're going to do that in the next video.
