Legacy Tokens cannot be created anymore

[shyim]

How can I use this project with a Slack App? 🤔

[LucaPrete]

Same here!

I see the are no replies since May 18th. Any news?

Hi, I’m looking into it, and while it doesn’t look like there’s a viable API alternative for free plans (Plus and Enterprise Grid have SCIM and Admin methods), I’ll see what I can do, but I just don’t have a lot of cycles right now. If you were looking into similar solutions, and they work right now without the need for legacy tokens, could you please point me to them?

@emedvedev hey, as far as I understand there is no hope? :(

[emedvedev]

Looks like it. Still don’t want to just close off the project, so I’ll see what I can do, but it’s unlikely at this point

I issued a complaint on it here https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/1063

I don't know if Slack brought the possibility back, to generate invitations via API, but it seems that they're finally re-enabled the "Never expires"-invite-link. Maybe this helps.

This is only for paid orgs and it doesn't work as nicely as having a page where they have to, say, check a box for a code of conduct before joining 😕

Just found this thread after forking the project, buulding for x86 and struggling to get a token to work....

https://api.slack.com/scopes?query=invit

channels:write.invites
Invite members to public channels

Not sure if that does what we need?

I notice also MinIO are open for public registration -

I cant find any way in slack to enable this, reached out for their support but no info....

Happy to help if the app tokens will now work, but not sure this is what we need anyway.

I can only see how to enable members from a specific domain from within slack's settings currently.

I managed to get a new bot installed with the permissions I think it needs and it looks like it worked, however I now get -

> slackin-extended@2.2.2 start
> cross-env-shell node ./bin/slackin.js $SLACK_SUBDOMAIN $SLACK_API_TOKEN --coc \"$SLACKIN_COC\" --channels \"$SLACKIN_CHANNELS\"

Might be failing to auth still or its just what you get when you get no response..

[web-engineer]

/slackin/lib/slack.js:40
          throw new Error('Bad Slack response. Make sure the team name and API keys are correct');

spoke too soon... definately not going to work...

[web-engineer]

Auth can be fixed by setting up an app and usign bearer token instead of token on a query - just got this to work -

  let response = null;
		response = await request // eslint-disable-line no-await-in-loop
			.get(`https://${this.host}.slack.com/api/conversations.list`)
			.auth(this.token, { type: 'bearer' })
			.query({
				limit: 800, cursor,
			});

I've forked on our gitlab so will let you know how its going

[web-engineer]

Ok - the invite part fails with -

2025-05-22T11:44:55.998Z slackin:invite Error sending an invite to <EMAIL>: not_allowed_token_type

[web-engineer]

https://api.slack.com/scopes?query=invite

I dont think this can be done anymore.... :(

Cant see anything there that seems to match what we need
