Setup

Slack needs an app in your workspace. moo walks you through it: run any Slack command and it leads to Sign In to Slack, which asks for a Client ID and offers Create Moo's Slack App with everything filled in.

  1. Create the app in the workspace you want.
  2. Under OAuth & Permissions, turn on PKCE.
  3. To use it in other workspaces, turn on public distribution under Manage Distribution.
  4. Copy the Client ID from Basic Information, paste it into moo and press Return. Sign-in opens in your browser.

Note PKCE means no client secret ships with moo. Slack can't turn PKCE off again without contacting support, and it marks the app as a public client, which is right for a desktop app.

Your token is kept in the Keychain. Channels and people are cached for ten minutes.
