I exported slack team users for migrating to another chat server like rocket.chat. and I used the export option in slack but couldn't find the email in the json data?
How can I find the email?
This is the correct API for slack exported json data
this is my exported slack users json data which i couldn't fine the email from
Take a look at the Slack users.list API. It's a JSON API and the method response includes email addresses.
In fact, if you only need to do this once, you can just use the 'tester' page: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.list/test
You can include email field into the export by setting email as public parameter in Slack administration settings: go to https://your_domain.slack.com/admin/settings#display_email_addresses → Email Display → select "Members and guests of <your_domain>, plus people from organizations you’re connected to" → request new export archive. Now your backup (zip archive) will contain users.json file inside, which includes emails field.
P.S. maybe "Members and guests of <your_domain>" option will also achieve that, but I never tested it.

I'm building my first Slack bot and I've got the basics mostly working... sending API requests, receiving commands and events, etc. But the part I'm left a bit confused about is what I'm supposed to do with the "Bot User OAuth Access Token".
The token appears to be shared across teams/workspaces, but it is returned to be during authentication of individual users with a call to /oauth.v2.access. Currently I'm storing the returned credentials payload in a table that has three columns:
My app's internal user ID
The Slack user ID embedded in the payload as authed_user.id
The entire JSON payload itself (jsonb in postgres if you're curious)
This allows me to initiate new API calls for actions that take place in my app (find by internal user ID) and also for interactions within Slack (find by Slack user ID).
What has left me a bit puzzled is what the convention is for when a user interacts with my bot that hasn't added my app. This can happen when a person ("Jose") adds my app and then their colleague ("Mary") discovers it in Slack and views the home screen, sends it a message, etc.
In order to take some action, such as prompt for the user to install my app, I need a token. Of course I have a token for Jose but not for Mary. I also have Jose's team ID stored in my table and Mary's team ID as part of the incoming event. So technically I could do something like this to get a working token to interact with Mary:
select credential_json from slack_credentials
where credential_json->>'type' = 'bot' and credential_json->'team'->>'id' = :marysTeamId
... which would pull out the bot token I captured when Jose added the app. This works, but it feels very wrong. I suppose if I just stored bot tokens in a separate table that looked like this:
The Slack team ID embedded in the payload as team.id
A subset of the JSON payload (ex: access_token, scope, bot_user_id, etc but not authed_user)
Then it wouldn't feel so yucky. But the docs + API ergonomics don't suggest this is a common approach either. So I'm curious what others do. If I don't hear anything back, I suppose my plan is to break out the bot tokens into a team-centric table.
Thanks!
The basic concept of Slack apps is that they are installed per workspace, not per user.
So while it's true that the app's token is derived from the user who installed your app to a new workspace, most the apps function are available to all users of the workspace.
e.g. slash commands will work for every user in every channel
e.g. posts of your app will be visible to all users of the related channel.
Therefore the best approach for storing tokens usually is with a primary key of Slack Team ID, Slack User ID.
And just to clarify. You do not need a token to prompt a user to install you app. Every app can be installed from webpage hosted by you (with the "Add to Slack button") or directly from the App Directory.
My feature was built before /createReply existed and relies on:
Set a custom header with Outlook/Office 365 REST
to add References and In-Reply-To to an email. This allows the app to send email replies w/o requiring Mail.ReadWrite, which is much more access than we need:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#mail-permissions
Read and write access to user mail
Allows the app to create, read, update, and delete email in user mailboxes. Does not include permission to send mail.
Now those headers no longer get added. (I also tried Cannot pass "In-Reply-To" parameter to Microsoft Graph sendMail and arrived at the same result as the author.)
Is there a way for me to get around this regression without requesting additional user permission? Thanks!
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-sendmail?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
As of 2019-10-04, Microsoft published changes to their /reply endpoint which now allows for message:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-reply?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#request-body
https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/pull/5771
With the message field, I should be able to send replies w/o requesting additional permissions.
I am using the Microsoft Graph SDK as downloaded from NuGet (1.2). I authenticate to Azure AD (using ADAL).
I am using Client Credentials flow (not authenticated as any particular user) and am using Application Permission roles to access resources.
We are going to set up one service mailbox with a bunch of aliases. The aliases are given to the clients. This is so they are emailing an address that has a meaningful name to them.
My app will run as a service, and routinely scan new emails in this inbox. It should find the To address, and depending on what alias was used, file the email in a location relevant to that client.
The resource I want is: GET /users/<id | userPrincipalName>/messages
However, there doesn't appear to be a method in the SDK for it.
I can get users with this:
IGraphServiceUsersCollectionPage filteredUsers =
graphApi.Users.Request()
.Filter("userPrincipalName eq 'user#domain.com'")
.GetAsync().Result;
When I loop through the collection, I can see that the User has a 'Messages' property, but it is always null.
If I manually build a request message with HttpClient I can get the messages.
The second problem is that the Recipient property is always the userPrincipalName of the mailbox. How can I get the alias that was used by the sender?
While you are able to get your collection of users successfully, you have to make another request to receive the messages. This would look something like:
IUserMessagesCollectionPage userMessages =
graphApi.Users["user_id"].Messages.Request()
.GetAsync().Result;
To answer your second question, at this time you cannot access the original recipient through the Graph API, but you can do this through EWS. This is due to the fact that you can only retrieve the SMTP message headers through EWS. You can read more about how to do this here.
If this is something you believe is valuable to you in the Graph, I would encourage you to post it in our UserVoice.
If you want to get the email as a file, you can simply get the body as bytes through the SDK:
byte[] asBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(message.Body.ToString());
We have build custom crm app(rails 4.0). One of the features that we have build is that we send emails to our customers based on booking status or we send a custom email by our travel agents.
The next thing we want is that customers can replt on this email. So we can recognize the email thats replyed and related to the initial email is send, so we have a nice email dialog (send/receive) in the crm.
Someone ideas how we can "recognize" the replyed email so we can related it to the right email?
Thanks..remco
In your email client open a reply from someone and show full headers or raw source (how to get it depends on the client but you will find it!)
When you look at the email headers you will find References field
References: <CAAC3oDjZSFywS5mpAANO+svm-3xXwLciUhw_QEkBkNqT9A#mail.com>
<06AFEF94-53D2-4469-59B0A494830C#mail.de>
<E67E3945-D61E-8E45-63C52D111698#mail.net>
And more importantly
In-Reply-To: <6397034C-90CA-41B4-F47AE3F39E76#mail.de>
While every outgoing email has a Message-ID field
Message-ID: <569F22.8060202#mail.de>
To get an if of you outgoing message
result = SomeMailer.message(params).deliver
result.header['Message-ID'].value
I use one sendgrid account in multiple projects, and use a same send email per project. Now I want to fetch the "Bounces" and "Invalid Emails" entries for specify project, can I get them with the same send mail?
SendGrid does not store the from address for consumption with these API's so what you are looking to do unfortunately isn't possible this way.
Two options I recommend looking into as an alternative are:
1) Use subusers. This will allow you to have separate accounts under the same parent account. You'd have to change your credentials and query for the bounces and invalid emails separately.
2) Use categories and the event webhook. SendGrid will send you a post request containing the event type and the category you added to the email.
there is also unique arugments option to send with emails. use this option as a name or id of the project. then later fetch status of these emails via this unique arguments.
I recently done this work, let me know if you need any help.
