Channels:write is not an option under Oauth section anymore

[avrooyen]

Thank you for this scripts. Its going to make managing 100's of channels much easier. One issue I ran into is I could only find these three options for Channnels in scopes (OAuth and Permissions). I'm assuming they replaced the :write with :manage likely?

  - channels:read
  - channels:manage
  - channels:join

I believe you are trying to use a bot token vs a user token. In the README, I make a mention of this:

Add the following permission scopes to a user token (bot tokens aren't allowed channels:write):

Here's the API I'm using that needs channels.write: https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.invite

It mentions scopes that are needed for bot vs user tokens. It looks like channels:manage will work for bot tokens. To be honest, I don't know or remember the difference between the two. Did you get the script to work?

[avrooyen]

Thank you for getting back.

I saw the note, assuming it was a deprecation and was not aware at the time of user vs bot tokens. My mistake. Of course, I did get the error cause it could not write channel.

I moved the tokens to user, added Channels:write and re-released the app. It still seems to not be able to retrieve private (test1, test2) and public (test3) channels.

Any thoughts?

Hmm I'm not sure why no channels are being returned. This API is being used to retrieve channels: https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.list and it requires the channels.read permission, which I assume you've added to your user token?

[avrooyen]

Yes, I did add that. I included a screenshot showing how all the scopes are setup.. maybe the screenshots were removed from the email reply.

I will try this a little later today.

@avrooyen - Any luck getting this to work? Can I close this issue?

[avrooyen]

Up to you on closing. I did not get around to test this due to moving to another urgent project att. If you want to keep it open, I will go back and attempt this next week and give feedback.

[jamietsao]

@avrooyen - No problem, I'll leave it open. Let me know if you still have issues.
