{shinyslack}: Connecting Slack Teams to Shiny Apps

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

The shinyslack package adds Slack authentication to Shiny by swapping Shiny’s launch call for a wrapper so apps identify users via Slack and map them to Slack team identities; it uses Yoni Sidi’s slackteams tooling and a helper slackteams::create_custom_app that generates a Slack manifest for easy app creation. Deployment requires a Slack app configured to allow redirects and a host like shinyapps.io. Used to de-duplicate signups and message cohort members, the integration works in the R4DS community.
