AutoSlack is a simple module designed to automate some tasks for http://slack.com. Currently it includes an invite method for automatically inviting persons to a Slack community.

Installation

pip install autoslack

(you could also simply add autoslack to your requirements.txt, setup.py or buildout file)

Usage

To use this you will need to generate a token by visiting https://api.slack.com/web#authentication, the token is passed to the autoslack.invite() method.

The invite() method returns feedback from the Slack API in json format

import autoslack
output = autoslack.invite(group="SLACKCOMMUNITYNAME",
                token="XXXXXXX",
                firstname="XXXXXXXX",
                lastname="XXXXXXX",
                emailaddress="XXXXXXX",
                channels=['XXXXX','XXXXX']
                )
print(output)

Note

The channels argument is optional.

A script like the one above would give output similar to this

{u'ok': True}
