{shinyslack}: Connecting Slack Teams to Shiny Apps

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

A Shiny login flow is built that ties each app user to their Slack identity using the R4DS/shinyslack package and the slackteams API wrappers so the app can identify or gate users and post as them. Deployment needs a Slack app with redirect permission for apps like shinyapps.io but is simplified by creating the Slack app from a Slack manifest via a create custom app helper. The system works in production for the R4DS Slack community.
