Just add your Slack token and use the shortcodes wherever you want your visitors to be able to invite themselves from. ### Features: * Easy to use: - Visit [https://api.slack.com/web](https://api.slack.com/web) to generate your Slack token. - Add the token to the plugin settings. - Use the [invitations_for_slack] or [invitations_for_slack_badge] shortcodes. * Invitations are performed using the WP REST API which in turn communicates with the Slack API. No page reloads. ### Requirements: * A Slack team and the team’s access token. * A self-hosted WordPress website (Not a WordPress.com website.) ## Screenshots * [[ * Normal button version : [invitations_for_slack]. * [[ * Badge version: [invitations_for_slack_badge]. * [[ * Restricted to logged in users (as per settings). * [[ * Logged in user and alternate e-mail allowed OR unrestricted, anyone can register. * [[ * Already part of the team. Other errors have similar appearance. * [[ * Invitation sent successfully! * [[ * Plugin setup screen. ## Installation To get **Invitations for Slack** working, please follow these steps. 1.

Maj 2017. Nice Plugin, made things a lot easier for me. The UI is nice as well. Thanks for this! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a69844cfaf58d8e23da4a9a1a582b9767997e3a3ba77b201a2d45f304ac7ca8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-4013/)󠁿 [Jenni McKinnon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ninianepress/) 24. Maj 2017. 2 replies This plugin is great and it works as expected when you use Slack’s legacy token API: https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens Just a hint for other users who can’t get it to work. I was able to figure it out so I thought I’d pass on the link to the API this plugin uses. Thanks for a great plugin! It’s exactly what I need. 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9e12766a26ef84f3eeea8b8d78730e1e02de68ecec617d1f9290ed0be721d4e3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works fine!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-fine-721/)󠁿 [cjeys](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cjeys/) 19.

Well everything is okay, thank you! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d46006b4017f007537a2c0dcf966ca7b3a5e0a3c89d2c15a569596da7329d561? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-1467/)󠁿 [Anthony Hortin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ahortin/) 31. Januar 2017. Plugin doesn’t work unfortunately. Have raised several issues in the support forum and still no response after months. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/16a722ef114f00386b386f29f2df8e6855e6defd02e766306998ab48b5f30c48? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Poor Instructions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/poor-instructions-2/)󠁿 [grungyape](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grungyape/) 3. Septembar 2016. While the author is not responsible for Slack itself, having at least basic instructions on how to obtain a proper Slack Token would result in a much higher rating. Currently it works with a Test token, but that’s not a proper setup. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b4a5b393fd89e99f4df7d8bf2a23e7bc00e21720e0d0ef1bb8448d0b53b8c1f3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin, responsive developer, works exactly as advertised](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-responsive-developer-works-exactly-as-advertised/)󠁿 [todbot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/todbot/) 3. Septembar 2016. This plugin does exactly what it says and seems to work well. I had some issues with it’s CSS in widgets and a minor issue with default channels, but @rheinardkorf responded quickly and pushed updates to both issues in a short time. Thanks!
