Theminimum required Slack CLI version for Enterprise Grid as of September 19th, 2023 is v2.9.0. If you attempt to log in with an older version, you'll receive a cli_update_required error from the Slack API. Run slack upgrade to get the latest version.
For Windows installations, the minimum supported PowerShell version as of Slack CLI v2.18.0 is v6.0. If you attempt to use an older version of PowerShell, you may encounter errors reading the configuration file (slack.json) or running the get hooks hook.
The alias you use should come after any flags used in the installation script. For example, if you use both flags noted below to pass a version and skip the Deno installation, your install script might look like this:
To do this, copy the Slack CLI into any folder that is already in your path, or add a new folder to your path by listing the folder you installed the Slack CLI to in your Environment Variables. You may not have access to edit System variables, so you might need to add it to your account's User variables. You can open the Environment Variables dialog by pressing the Win+R keys to open the Run window, and then entering the following command:
Solution: For the installer to work correctly, your PowerShell session's language mode will need to be set to FullLanguage. To check your session's language mode, run the following in your PowerShell window: ps $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode. To run the installer, your session's language mode will need to be FullLanguage. If it's not, you can set your session's language mode to FullLanguage with the following command: ps $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "FullLanguage"
If you have another CLI tool in your path called slack, we recommend renaming our slack binary to a different name before adding it to your path. See your OS-specific installation tab for more details.
When you send the message containing the slash command, a modal will pop up, prompting you to grant certain permissions to the Slack CLI. Click the Confirm button in the modal to move to the next step.
Evaluate third-party apps
Exercise caution when using third-party applications and automations (those outside of slack-samples). Review all source code created by third-parties before running slack create or slack deploy.
Triggers are created from trigger definition files. The Slack CLI will then look for anytrigger definition files and prompt you to select one. In this case, there isonly one trigger: sample_trigger.ts. Select it.
The Slack CLI will also start a local development server, syncing changes to yourworkspace's development version of your app. You'll know your local developmentserver is up and running when your terminal window tells you it's Connected, awaiting events.
Grab the Shortcut URL you generated in the previous step and paste it in apublic channel in your workspace. You will see the shortcut unfurl with a"Start Workflow" button. Click the button to execute the shortcut.
The Windows app opens and loads Slack but then Slack freezes. Even the quit button doesn't work. I have to force-ably shut it down via the task manager. The Windows app's menu bar does work but some of its corresponding actions don't (like quit that just simply closes the window but does not shutdown slack). The slack website does work.I tried
Try the following: Menu > File > Preferences > Notifications, scroll down to "Deliver notifications via..." and change it to "Slack's built-in notifications". Restart Slack and the problem should be gone - helped in my case.
I was having trouble with Slack freezing up. Everything from switching channels to pasting text into the message box would lock up the Windows app. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I reset the app. I cleared the cache. Nothing worked.
Slack is network dependent. If the network is down, it's broken. When Slack is down, and I can see it in the system tray, but have no interface. I have to force-quit it in Task Manager. Restarting it is no help. Reinstalling is no help.
If you press alt-F2 and type lg Enter, you will wander behind the looking glass. There in the Windows tab, you can see wmClasses of windows and the desktop files they are associated with. Hopefully, this helps in debugging.

Not sure why but since recently, the Slack icon in bottom right notification area (Windows 10) isn't visible anymore despite Slack app being checked in "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" section. Consequently I need to keep Slack open at all times in my app bar (which I don't want because it's crowded).
Additionally, every time there is a Slack client app update, you have to go into the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" in Windows 10 to turn on the "new" icon. It seems this changes when the application is updated.
This issue has persisted for over a year, and a Slack update this morning did the same thing - the icon is in the notification overflow window, instead of on the taskbar. If there is one application that MUST always be visible in the taskbar, it is Slack, and you keep falling down on this basic requirement.
Clearly, with every Slack client update, the operating system thinks it's a new app (with a new GUID or whatever the nomenclature is), so defaults to the notification icon being in the overflow. This is on you. No other application that uses notification icons does this after an update. None. Okay, maybe not none, but I have never encountered another one, and I am a super geek.
It also doesn't help, that after a client update, the old client runs until exited (as the taskbar icon remains visible), but on the next launch, the icon goes into the overflow. So it might appear to the uninformed that the Slack client update didn't trigger the problem, but it did.
Seriously, you need to mark this as important. It only takes about 10 seconds for us users to change the setting on the new icon, after we discover it's missing. But that 10 seconds is multiplied by the number of users who want that icon to stay visible, for every update. That is a LOT of wasted time.
In Windows 10, you have to right-click on the tray (the area you referred to as "notification area") to be able to customize which icons are visible, choose Properties, and then click the Customize button.
At some point my slack icon disappeared from the taskbar, and it turned out it was in the hidden icons popover(triggered by the arrow on the left of the icons list). I was able to put it back on the taskbar by simply dragging it there from the popover.
I found the setting in File > Preferences > Windows App: "Leave app running in notification area when the window is closed" to be opposite of what I expected. When I unchecked the option, the icon appeared in the notification area. Once the icon appeared I could adjust the Notification Preferences to "Show icon and notifications".
Describe the bug
Slack is a desktop chat application on macOS. The window of the application is "immune" on BetterTouchTools action "Move Window One Space/Desktop Left/Right". I can move all other windows easily from one workspace to another but Slack window can't be moved. I trigger this action using keyboard bindings
Continue to have this issue 3+ years later. Restart Mac nor restart BTT works to clear it up. Occasionally I've been able to move Slack if the pointer is over the menubar but lately haven't been able to move that window whatsoever.
I have a simple macro that moves and resizes the front window of the front application in response to a hot key. It works great for every application EXCEPT slack. Trying to run this macro in slack does not work at all.
Slack is indeed listed, but I can't control the slack window which I change "front application" to "Slack". I've tried a bunch of other applications (Word, Illustrator, Todoist) and all work except for slack.
Frequently, one or more of our developers will be tasked to work with the same client for months. Every day they wake up, open up Slack--which is the primary tool Tighten, as a remote company, uses to build culture and relationships--and switch to the client's Slack.
We've noticed that those folks whose client has their own Slack have less of a chance to participate in Tighten conversations and events. So, I set out to find a way to make it possible to have two local apps for Slack.
The best solution--which is not possible, as far as I can tell--is to have two versions of the official Slack running locally with a unique list of workspaces open in each. The app is great, it's standalone, and it has some niceties that aren't present using Slack in the browser.
Our devs could, of course, open Tighten's slack in their browser. But even with pinned tabs, browser windows still sort of ebb and flow; an individual item in a browser doesn't get its own cmd-tab; and the browser doesn't get quite the same quality of some of the keyboard shortcuts and other system integrations.
I didn't mention this in the original version of this post because I consider it helpful but separate, but enough people mentioned it that I figured I would add it. Recently Slack added a brilliant feature called shared channels that allows you to sync a channel between your Slack and another workspace.
If you can handle your communications with the other workspace within one or a few channels, and you have a relationship set up such that shared channels will work, that's absolutely the best way to go about it. You can avoid the slow-down of multiple workspaces but still get the benefits of collaboration.
Con: If you have more than one workspace, you're now spinning up two instances of a local Slack instance with multiple workspaces. Slack uses up a lot of memory, and two full local Slack instances connected to multiple workspaces each will really amplify that. Also, every notification will be duplicated across all of your workspaces.
