run-on-slack-deepl

This sample app is a translator app that runs DeepL's awesome APIs for translating Slack message text into a different language.

Important Notice

This app has been transferred to the official Slack sample app repo: https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-deepl-translator 🎉 Please use the app instead!

Steps to enable this app

0. Enable the next-gen platform in your workspace

To use this sample, you first need to install and configure the Slack CLI. Step-by-step instructions can be found in Quickstart Guide. Also, the beta platform needs to be enabled for your paid Slack workspace.

And then, you can use this GitHub repository as the template for your app.

slack create my-deepl-slack-app -t seratch/run-on-slack-deepl
cd my-deepl-slack-app/

1. Enable Setup Workflow

First off, let's enable the "setup" workflow!

slack deploy
slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/setup.ts

You will get a URL (e.g., https://slack.com/shortcuts/Ft***/****) to invoke the setup workflow. Once you can share the URL in your Slack workspace, any users in the workspace can enable the translator app in any public channels.

2. Set DeepL API key to the app

Add your DeepL API key to the app env variables:

slack env add DEEPL_AUTH_KEY <your own key here>

3. Add the app to the channels

Add the deployed app to the channels you've listed in the step 1.

4. Add a reaction to a message in the channel

Add :jp: reaction to any message in the channel. If everything is fine, you will see the same content that is translated into Japanese in its thread.
