# Slack Standard Workflow Collection



This repository is a collection of useful ["standard" workflow](https://slack.com/help/articles/15363357403411) templates in Slack. Check `manifest.ts` to learn what are available!



## Setup Channel



[The "Setup Channel" workflow](https://github.com/seratch/slack-standard-workflow-collection/blob/main/workflows/setup_channel.ts) enables your workspace users to effortlessly create a new public or private channel in a single step.



### How to enable it



* Run `slack run` to start your local app

* Run `slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/setup_channel.ts` to create a link trigger on a different terminal window

* Share the link trigger URL either in a channel or in a canvas document



### How it works



When a user clicks the link trigger of this workflow, the following modal dialog pops up. All the user needs to do is to fill in the form and submit it.






If everything goes well, the workflow automatically creates a new channel with the given topic, invite channel managers and other members, and then posts a welcome message.






You can customize the details just by modifying [this source file](https://github.com/seratch/slack-standard-workflow-collection/blob/main/workflows/setup_channel.ts)!



## Morning Reminder / Daily Standup



[The "Morning Reminder" workflow](https://github.com/seratch/slack-standard-workflow-collection/blob/main/workflows/morning_reminder.ts) sends a reminder message to your team every weekday morning. While it's feasible to do similar with the the built-in `/remind` feature, a good thing about this workflow is that you can manage operations in a git repo and can have a sequence of steps in a more flexible way!



### How to enable it



As a first step in preparation, start by creating a simple daily standup workflow.

* Run `slack run` to start your local app

* Run `slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/daily_standup.ts`

* Copy the link trigger URL



Now you can finalize the "Morning Reminder" workflow code:

* Replace the TODO parts in `workflows/morning_reminder.ts`

  * Set the above link trigger URL

  * Set the channel ID where you want to send reminder messages



To see how it works immediately, you can use the link trigger for testing:

* Run `slack run` to start your local app

* Run `slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/morning_reminder_test.ts`

* Share the link trigger URL either in a channel and click it



For production use cases, we recommend running the app in the deployed mode:

* Run `slack deploy` to deploy your app (before deploying the app, you may want to adjust the name, icon, enabled features; edit `manifest.ts` for it)

* Set up the daily standup trigger in the same way

* Edit `triggers/morning_reminder.ts` to replace the TODO parts

* Run `slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/morning_reminder.ts`

* You will recieve a reminder message in the specified channel tomorrow morning



### How it works



The workflow posts a reminder message in your team channel every morning. 




When your team member clicks the link, a modal dialog of the "Daily Standup" workflow pops up.






When they submit the form, the inputs will be shared in the message's thread:






You can customize the details by modifying the follow source code files:

* [The "Daily Standup" workflow](https://github.com/seratch/slack-standard-workflow-collection/blob/main/workflows/daily_standup.ts)

* [The "Morning Reminder" workflow](https://github.com/seratch/slack-standard-workflow-collection/blob/main/workflows/morning_reminder.ts)
