Work Objects Showcase

Your app can respond to links being shared in Slack with Work Object metadata to display a link preview. Users can click the preview to view authenticated data in the flexpane. If supported, users can edit app data directly from the flexpane.

You can also post Work Object metadata directly with chat.postMessage, without a link being shared.

Read the docs to learn more!

Setup

Option 1: Create a new app with the Slack CLI

slack init && slack run

Option 2: Create a Slack App in the UI and copy over your tokens

Create an app on https://api.slack.com/apps from the app manifest in this repo (manifest.json).

Configure environment variables:

# OAuth & Permissions → Bot User OAuth Token
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=<your-bot-token>
# Basic Information → App-Level Tokens (create one with the `connections:write` scope)
export SLACK_APP_TOKEN=<your-app-token>

Install dependencies and run the app:

# Setup virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the server
python3 app.py
