Orbit <--> Slack #71

Open haadcode opened 8 years ago

haadcode commented 8 years ago

It would be great to connect Orbit with Slack. Similar to Orbit <--> IRC (https://github.com/haadcode/orbit/issues/67), it should be possible to send and receive messages from Orbit to Slack and the other way around.

This is probably quite a bit of work since the permissions with Slack are complicated and at the same time, Orbit doesn't have any permission handling.

As with IRC connectivity, there are multiple ways to do this, so ideas and possible solutions highly welcome in the comments!

As slack data often contains private information I don't think this should be done before permissions + encryption are fully integrated into orbit.

I would think Orbit <--> Matrix would be the way to go. Matrix already bridges with Slack and IRC.
