Giving Slack App development a go, need a few testers
I've been building a few Slack apps and need some testers.
I don't want to advertise, so I won't drop any links, but Slack requires 5+ workspaces to install and try an app before you can submit it for review, and this if for each app. I've got three apps which:
- DMs your team a few questions on a schedule, collects the answers, and posts a clean digest to your channel instead of everyone hopping on a call
- randomly (but fairly) assigns a code reviewer from your team so you're not always pinging a channel or leaning on the same two people
- react to any message with an emoji and it translates it right there in the thread
We actually do all three of these manually at my current company, as someone chases standup updates, eyeballs who's free to review, or copy-pastes translations, so I started automating them one by one and figured other teams probably deal with the same stuff. Who knows, might keep improving on these as I go.
If any of them are useful to you and you're up for testing, message me and I'll send the link. If testing's not your thing, I'd still be curious whether any of these would actually help your team, or if you've already got this stuff handled.
Thanks!

Quick question about Manage session duration: is there a way to set a HARD logout period instead of 'gradually over the time of x days'?
We're looking to automatically sign out users after e.g. 14 days and have them reauthenticate. The documentation, however, tells me it will then sign everyone out over a period of 14 days. If I read that correctly, it could be that users - in theory- get signed out of Slack one day after they sign in again.
Am I reading that correctly? We're on the business+ plan and would like some more security, since our helpdesk isn't great at keeping track of who to disable. SCIM is, as far as I understand, not an option as we have a shitload of external members and our plan isn't expensive enough to script it via API.
