Serverless Slack User Invitation

Serverless Slack User Invitation

• Clone or download the repository
• In repository's folder run npm install command
• Install Serverless.js for easy deployment, it will deploy lambda function and create an API Gateway endpoint automatically
• Run npm install -g serverless to install serverless globally
• Follow these instructions on setting up AWS credentials for Serverless if you haven't done already
• Copy sampleDeploy.sh as deploy.sh and update slack token and team name properties
• Or just run serverless deploy --SLACK_TOKEN yourtokenhere --SLACK_TEAM_NAME slackteamnamehere from the terminal
• Get your legacy slack token that you will use to invite users from here
• You can always take it back by running serverless remove command
• That is it! Now, you can use the endpoint to make ajax post request to invite users. Post request expects {email: '[e-mail]'} in the body

Note: just as a sample, I've created index.html with Vue.js. It can be used as a starting point for your invitation page's frontend. You just need to update inviteEndpoint and upload it to s3 and make it public to use it.
