Post to direct message? #10

Closed aimless55 closed 8 years ago

aimless55 commented 8 years ago

Can I use this to post a file into a direct message, or does it only work for channels?

bcicen commented 8 years ago

Currently you can only post to channels and private groups. I'll leave this open to track adding support for direct message though.

Posting to direct message added in latest release

Is there a new flag to use this feature? I tried just substituting a user name for the channel, but got "missing_scope":

echo "testing..." | ~/Downloads/slackcat-0.8-darwin-amd64 -c username
missing_scope
slackcat Slack API Error: No such channel, group, or im

I tried @username and '@username', too, same error. Messaging channels still works fine.

@toejough -- there is no specific flag, but the feature does require a new permission scope(users:read) to work. You should be able to enable this by re-generating a new token with --configure.

Not quite working for me, has this feature been disabled?

I'm also getting

slackcat connected to DPI-691M as dhrumil.mehta
slackcat No such channel, group, or im

I know the username is spelled correctly, and I'm on slackcat version 1.4, build

Thanks.

@dmil can you verify the username you're using matches what's shown in the output of slackcat --list?
