Not getting invites about slackin HOT 38 CLOSED

Works for me.

from slackin.

It still works with user tokens. But not sure if we're violating their TOS.

from slackin.

is this still an issue? if it is, why is it closed? thanks!

from slackin.

So is this project usefull for free plan teams or it won't work?

from slackin.

Check the error from users.admin.invite you probably see {error=paid_only, ok=false} It looks like they recently made a change so you have to have a paid account to use this api function. Not sure if it works for a bot account if you upgrade your script to a bot.

from slackin.

😞 Thats unfortunate that they changed it. Are you referring to inviting bots or using a bot to invite.

I also dont see an error.

from slackin.

Bot users - https://api.slack.com/bot-users

from slackin.

I fixed this for socket.io by reconfiguring it to use my personal token.

from slackin.

(probably not the best idea? I'm gonna email Slack)

from slackin.

I have made a change here #14 , and it works for me. The restricted property is for paid user only.

from slackin.

#14 works very last few days. And doesn't work this morning. Maybe slack block this from free groups.

from slackin.

FYI levels.io confirmed on twitter that slack killed that portion of the api. Which confirms what @dherbst mentioned in the first comment

from slackin.

@brianllamar I have retweet , and i'm very sad slack.com blocked this api.

from slackin.

Here's a very simple test script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests

API_BASE_URL = 'https://slack.com/api/{method}?token={token}'
TOKEN = '<your_token>'
GENERAL_ROOM_ID = "<your_room_id>"

def call(method, **params):
    url = API_BASE_URL.format(method=method, token=TOKEN)
    return requests.get(url, params=params)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    res = call("users.admin.invite", email="<your_email>", set_active="true",
               channels=GENERAL_ROOM_ID, first_name="Bob")
    print(res)
    print(res.json())

Which prints:

$ python invite.py
<Response [200]>
{u'ok': False, u'error': u'paid_only'}

^^^ that's what I get with a user token, btw, not a bot token.

from slackin.

This started working for me again today.

from slackin.

woohoo! Thanks for letting everyone know. Is this with an org token?

from slackin.

Same. Didn't change anything, still using the org token. Did tweet at Slack a while back pointing them at this :)

from slackin.

Yup, org token. I was going to hack it up to just dump an invite request in
the channel on failure, but I wasn’t getting the expected failure.

wow-hoo. Thanks guys for reporting. I'll revert my README.md change.

from slackin.

Slackin has started working for me! Sweet.

(Although, oddly, my test script still returns paid users only)

from slackin.

Best news ever.

from slackin.

And now it's not working again? 😃 Anybody else? API reports success. No invite created.

from slackin.

Somebody used it succesfully to join my group an hour ago

from slackin.

@llimllib I'm at a loss. The org is paid. API reports success. I don't want to clutter this issue, especially if it's user error (likely).

from slackin.

Works great for me.

from slackin.

@rauchg Thanks so much for this project! I don't mean to sound ungrateful.

from slackin.

No problem at all. In fact there's a chance that there's still something
wrong with slackin… just pointing out it works for me.

What do the logs say ?

@rauchg more details:

• Deployed to Heroku via the button (at release 0.2.9 fde0740)
• Applied this patch to keep it from crashing per #11
• Added logging to lib/slack-invite.js a la this patch
• The logs indicate success, afaict:

2015-03-06T16:37:44.005011+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=POST path="/invite" host=travis-lounge-signup.herokuapp.com request_id=9e6dee46-77c3-4776-aa9a-bea4d61b1f30 fwd="71.182.205.38" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=78ms status=200 bytes=131
2015-03-06T16:37:44.005555+00:00 app[web.1]: Invite response: 200

An invite is not created under the given org, and no email is sent.
I can add more logging or whatever you think is appropriate 😃

from slackin.

Can you please test 0.3.0 to see if it fixes the first two points ?
Have you checked spam :D ?

from slackin.

@rauchg Yep nothing in spam 😃 I'm trying to get 0.3.0 happy on heroku. Are you using a custom bulidpack or some such to get the ./node dir built? Committing the generated files? Other?

from slackin.

I hacked the Procfile like so: https://gist.github.com/meatballhat/05fd71dbd2c1a791093a#file-procfile-hack-patch

Server runs now, but no change in invitation behavior 😕

2015-03-06T18:36:45.285201+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=POST path="/invite" host=travis-lounge-signup.herokuapp.com request_id=8a1228bc-26c7-4daf-9a16-e887196e109a fwd="71.182.205.38" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=91ms status=200 bytes=131

from slackin.

I made a few more hacks to have the request made the same way as https://github.com/tech404/inviter/blob/81dd14014fb7657339dd1aa87d97e09dd4f82fd9/lib/slack/client.rb#L15-L21 and everything appears to be working for me. I'll gladly work up a PR if there's interest 😃

from slackin.

Please! Thanks for following-up

from slackin.

I've tested Slackin both locally on and Heroku and in either case I'm not receiving any invites. I'm not sure if this is the same issue, the Slackin logs don't say anything at all besides the fetching/online X logs.

from slackin.

Actually my bad, it does work locally, just takes ~10 minutes for the invite to arrive. Still doesn't work on Heroku as far as I can tell though.

from slackin.

I got to this issue from here and got my first invite without a hitch.
