Connect
Business and upAn app is an integration your workspace makes for itself. Each one gets a bot that posts under its own name and a token that does only what its scopes allow, even when the workspace requires single sign-on or MFA. Add slash commands, message actions, buttons and dialogs, or paste the manifest of an app you built for Slack.
For Developers and ops teams who have bots, scripts and internal tools to connect.
Create an app in workspace settings, name it, and tick the scopes it needs; start small and add more later. The bot shows in the people list with an App badge and posts under the app's name, so nobody's account is borrowed. The token is shown once, posts as the app, doesn't expire and isn't held to single sign-on or MFA, so it doubles as an API key. Make a new token any time, and the old one stops at once.
If you built an app for Slack, copy its manifest in YAML or JSON and paste it instead of picking scopes. Freesbe reads the name, description, colour, bot name, bot scopes, event subscriptions, slash commands and message shortcuts. Slack's separate scopes for public channels, private channels and DMs map onto Freesbe's one of each; anything Freesbe doesn't have yet is listed and left out, and the app acts as its bot only.

An app can add commands like /order 4512 that anyone in the workspace types at the start of a message; typing / lists the commands your apps add. Freesbe posts Slack's form to the command's URL and the app answers within three seconds, privately to the person, in the channel for everyone, or later through the response URL. Apps also add actions to every message's menu, such as Create order, which send the message to the app.
An app's card can carry buttons like Mark packed as well as links. A press reaches the app as Slack's block_actions payload, and the app can change the message, answer or open a dialog. Dialogs are Slack's modals: text, email, URL and number inputs, date pickers, selects, radio buttons, checkboxes and a people picker, with errors shown under the inputs and views that update, push or clear.
The API takes and returns JSON with a bearer token. A bot token does what its scopes allow; a script can also sign in as a person and do anything that account could do in the app: post, react, upload, open DMs, create channels, schedule meetings, and as an admin invite people, change roles and manage settings. Message text uses Slack-style formatting, and a WebSocket follows everything live, DMs included.
Apps, slash commands and the API is included in Business, Corporate and Enterprise.
