Instead, you use the WebSocket Protocol and generate a URL at runtime. Socket Mode allows you to use the Events API and interactive features of the platform-without exposing a static HTTP endpoint to receive payloads. These functions deal specifically with all of the various channel-like objects that can exist in a Slack workspace, specifically public and private channels, shared channels, external shared channels, DMs, and multiparty DMs.įor the most part, these channel-like objects all behave the same (you can list the users in them, for example), however each conversation will have unique attributes, such as how private it is or whether it's shared across workspaces. The Conversations API is a subset of the Web API, meaning it’s a set of functions you use to call Slack directly. Other times, it’s because you want to request something directly, such as a list of all the people in a workspace. Often, this will be because you want to take some action on a Slack workspace, such as composing a message or creating a new channel. If the Events API is how Slack pings your app, the Web API is how your app pongs back to Slack. If you don't wish to expose a public, static HTTP endpoint to communicate with Slack, Socket Mode can help. With the Events API, you pick the events you’re interested in receiving and Slack will send them to an endpoint you specify via HTTP. This section will help you find the right API for your project. Generally, these APIs work together but there’s also a bit of overlap that can sometimes be confusing. The Slack platform is composed of several APIs that let you build apps of all shapes and sizes.
