Setup

Create a Slack App

  • Go to Slack API and create a new app in your workspace using the following manifest. You may want to change the bot name and the command /slackbridge-info to something else. If you are using this in the Hack Club Slack workspace, you must change the command name.
{
    "display_information": {
        "name": "SlackBridge"
    },
    "features": {
        "bot_user": {
            "display_name": "SlackBridge",
            "always_online": false
        },
        "slash_commands": [
            {
                "command": "/slackbridge-info",
                "description": "See current server status",
                "should_escape": false
            }
        ]
    },
    "oauth_config": {
        "scopes": {
            "bot": [
                "channels:history",
                "chat:write",
                "chat:write.customize",
                "users:read",
                "commands"
            ]
        }
    },
    "settings": {
        "event_subscriptions": {
            "bot_events": [
                "message.channels"
            ]
        },
        "interactivity": {
            "is_enabled": true
        },
        "org_deploy_enabled": false,
        "socket_mode_enabled": true,
        "token_rotation_enabled": false
    }
}
  • Once you have created the app, go to the "OAuth & Permissions" page and install the app to your workspace.
  • Note down the Bot User OAuth Token.
  • Go to the Basic Information page and create an app token. Note down the app token.
  • In Slack, invite the bot to the channel you want to relay messages to.
  • Right click on the channel and click "Copy Link". Note down the channel ID from the link. (It should look like C01A2B3C4D5)
  • That's it on the Slack side! Let's get your server setup now.

Setup the Mod

  • Install the mod on your server by adding the jar to the mods folder.
  • Restart the server to generate the config file.
  • Open the config file (config/slackbridge.json) and fill in the following fields:
    • slackBotToken - The Bot User OAuth Token
    • slackAppToken - The App Token
    • relayChannelId - The Channel ID
    • infoCommand - The command name you set in the manifest. This will default to /slackbridge-info - if you didn't change the manifest, you can leave this alone.
  • Restart the server again and you should be good to go!
