SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Setting up a Slack Events API bot on Google Apps Script is error-prone and slow because it requires coordinating cross-platform IDs, tokens, deployment URLs, and event subscription verification across both consoles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates a full GAS+Slack bot repo scaffold: generates the Apps Script runtime files plus Slack manifest and safe local configuration templates for a working baseline.
  • Guides browser-driven admin setup using an already logged-in Chrome session: uses CDP-attached logged-in browser workflow to create the Apps Script project, configure Slack scopes and event subscriptions, and install the Slack App.
  • Deploys and verifies end-to-end messaging: deploys the Apps Script Web App, wires the request_url for Slack events, and confirms bot replies with a live message test.

Quick Start

Use the logged-in Chrome workflow to attach Playwright over CDP, scaffold a target bot repo with the provided PowerShell script, then follow the SKILL.md workflow to deploy the GAS Web App and wire the Slack App manifest/event subscriptions before sending a live test message in your target channel.

How do I set up a Slack Events API bot on Google Apps Script end to end?▼

Setting up a Slack Events API bot on Google Apps Script involves scaffolding a deployable Web App, configuring Slack scopes and event subscriptions, and verifying the request_url with a live message test.

What is the best way to automate Slack App creation and Google Apps Script deployment?▼

Automating Slack App creation and Google Apps Script deployment is best handled by using a CDP-attached logged-in browser workflow to create projects, configure scopes, and deploy the Web App.

Why does Slack request_url verification fail when using Google Apps Script?▼

Slack request_url verification fails when the Google Apps Script Web App is not deployed correctly or lacks proper token handling via Script Properties to respond to the verification challenge.

Do I need a logged-in Chrome session to configure a Google Apps Script Slack bot?▼

Yes, you need a logged-in Chrome session because the workflow uses CDP browser automation to attach Playwright and perform the required Google and Slack console administrative tasks.

Can I handle Slack bot tokens and duplicate event protection in Google Apps Script?▼

Yes, you can handle Slack bot tokens securely using Script Properties and implement duplicate event protection by filtering events for message.channels and optional file_shared actions within the script.

What are the limitations of using Google Apps Script for Slack event subscriptions?▼

Limitations of using Google Apps Script for Slack event subscriptions include the need to coordinate cross-platform IDs, tokens, and deployment URLs across both Google and Slack consoles.
