I am trying to create a slack bot that will upload one of my local files to slack and posting it in a block message.
I am uploading the image with app.client.files.upload() and trying to make it public with app.client.files.sharedPublicURL() but when i do i get the error not_allowed_token_type. Does anyone know what the problem could be or how i could achieve this? I am unable to host the images publicly on my own, they need to be uploaded to slack.
This is my code:
//Upload image to slack and include it in a postMessage
const result = await app.client.files.upload({
token: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
file: fs.createReadStream('/Users/linusromland/Pictures/48645689.jpg')
});
console.log(result);
const results2 = await app.client.files.sharedPublicURL({
token: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
file: result.file.id
});
console.log(results2);
// Post a message to the channel with the image
await app.client.chat.postMessage({
token: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
channel: linus.slackId,
text: 'Hello world!',
blocks: [
{
type: 'image',
image_url: results2.file.permalink_public,
alt_text: 'Linus'
}
]
});
