Transfer files between repos using a Slack slash command.
Transposit is an excellent tool to create operations that modularize frequently-used API calls in many apps. In addition, it's very simple to create a Slack command in Transposit that automates a common task. This app demonstrates combining these two features into a single Slack command that copies a GitHub file from one repo to another (or to another path in the same repo, or to another branch).
Step through Transposit#
- Fork the app https://console.transposit.com/t/transposit-sample/github_transfer (find the Fork button at the top of the editor view)
Set up Slack#
- Go to your Slack apps and create a new app.
- Select Slash Commands from the list of Slack features. Create a new command named
/github-transfer. - Go back to Transposit to get the Request URL. Go to Deploy > Endpoints and copy the webhook URL. Paste it into the Slack command's Request URL field. Give it a short description and usage hint if desired.
- Save your command.
- Click Install App in the sidebar to install it into your workspace.
- Test the app in Slack by typing
/github-transfer. You should receive the "Please configure your user" message.
Do more!#
- Try deploying the
transfer_fileoperation for use in another connector!
