summaraizer Slack

What?

Summaraizer summarizes your Slack thread discussions.

How?

There are a few steps required to add this integration to your Slack workspace:

1. Go to api.slack.com/apps, and click on Create New App
2. Go to OAuth & Permissions and add the following Scopes to the Bot Token:

• app_mentions:read
• chat:write
• channels:history
• groups:history
• mpim:history
• im:history

3. Click on "Install to Workspace"
4. Accept everything (or wait until your Slack Admin approved it)
5. Deploy this web app to vercel by running vercel
6. Copy the (stable) deployment URL and go back to the Slack integration and click Event subscriptions
7. Enable it and paste the vercel URL in it (for validation a small Verifired ✅ should appear above it)
8. In the section Subscribe to bot events, enable app_mention
9. Reinstall the Slack Bot to your workspace
10. Go back to your vercel deployment -> settings and set the following secrets:

• SLACK_BOT_TOKEN (can be found in the Slack integration OAuth & Permissions)
• OPENAI_API_TOKEN

11. Redeploy the version instance (to add the new secrets to that deployment)

After this is done, you are able to invite your bot in your channels, group messages, etc. by typing /invite @BotName.

Finally, you can summaraize your threads by typing @BotName summarize please.
