Ignore an issue

Connector functions are a new addition to Slack automations. We recommend understanding the systems and APIs you’re integrating with before setup.

Authentication

A connector's access token property specifies how the connector handles authentication.

This connector only supports using the credentials of the user running the workflow, so the credential_source of this connector's access token parameter must be set to "END_USER".

End-user authentication

user Workflows that include a connector function relying on end-user authentication can can only be started with a link trigger.

snyk_access_token: {
    credential_source: "END_USER"
}

End-user experience: User will be prompted to link their external account via OAuth when they first start the workflow that contains this connector.

Developer experience: Developer does not have to implement authentication in app.

How to use

First, import Connectors from deno-slack-hub into your project's import_map.json file, like this:

{
  "imports": {
    "deno-slack-hub/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_hub@0.2.0/",
    "deno-slack-sdk/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_sdk@2.7.0/",
    "deno-slack-api/": "https://deno.land/x/deno_slack_api@2.2.0/",
  }
}

Next, import Connectors at the top of your workflow's definition file:

// my_workflow_file.ts
import { Connectors } from "deno-slack-hub/mod.ts";

Finally, add the connector as a step in your workflow just like you would a built-in Slack function.

SomeWorkflow.addStep(
  Connectors.Snyk.functions.CreateIgnore, {
  //...

🧙🏼 Your admin may need to approve the connector first. If your workspace has been configured to only allow admin-approved apps, the CLI will prompt you to send an admin approval request the first time you try to use a connector that hasn't been approved by an admin yet. While waiting for admin approval, the CLI may report an error like this:

Workflow function... is referring to an unknown step output parameter...

You can safely ignore this error; it will go away as soon as your workspace admin approves your request to use the connector.
