Never get email after simple Heroku deployment about slackin HOT 15 CLOSED

Ditto. Not seeing any errors in the logs or anything.

@rauchg are the emails sent by slack? is there something we need to do in the Slack admin to enable this?

from slackin.

@ultrasaurus they are. It could be related to the fact that it's a channel invite? I mostly test with full organization join.

Could be related to this which I recently merged a PR for:
https://github.com/rauchg/slackin/blob/master/lib/slack-invite.js#L8

@kishikawakatsumi can you confirm this works for you?

from slackin.

@rauchg I was running master, so had that change in. Had the same problem without the --channel flag. Will try adding some more logging and see what the issue is.

Seeing the same thing. I tried with our paid account and emails WORK, I tried it with a second account I created just for the task, a free account, and so far no emails. Same server, just changing SLACK_SUBDOMAIN to point to correct domain.

from slackin.

...so, I just upgraded to a paid plan and emails work now.

from slackin.

Hmmmmm, users.admin.invite isn't listed in their API docs (as also noted in https://levels.io/slack-typeform-auto-invite-sign-ups/). I only tried with an unpaid account...seems strange that there would be a difference there.

from slackin.

I've always used it with unpaid orgs myself.

Also experiencing this issue with a free slack account.

from slackin.

So, it seems to be a limit on Slack's side, that is, per their docs, single-channel guests are:

"Free for paid teams (limited to 5 accounts per paying team member)"

So once you hit the limit, no more invite emails go out.

from slackin.

The real deal seems to be that if you restrict users by channel (single channel mode), you'll have account limit problems. If you leave out the channel, it should work fine on free plans except that guests can see all channels. Might be worth a mention in the docs.

@brucek def. Thanks for the extra clarification. Just updated the docs.

LGTY?

from slackin.

Leaving out the SLACK_CHANNEL env variable crashed my Heroku app.

I ended up removing that variable completely from the Procfile, that seems to work (and I'm now finally receiving the invites! yay!).
