If you are using Slack as a collaboration tool in your organization and would like to launch a user chat window directly from ShortPoint, follow below step-by-step guide to do so.
Step 1: Add ShortPoint Tiles Element
Note: For this example we use ShortPoint Tiles Element, but any other ShortPoint element containing a Link field can be used.
Step 2: Open Tiles (Items) Tab and add your items
Note: In other ShortPoint Elements, you will have Items tab instead of Tiles tab.
Step 3: Obtain Slack Team ID
- Open the Slack webpage (http://yourteam.slack.com)
- Copy the Team ID from the URL (it will be right after /client/ path):
Step 4: Obtain Slack Team member ID
- Select User in Slack
- Open user profile
- Click on More actions button (button with "…")
- Click Copy member ID:
Step 5: Fill in the Link property
slack://user?team={TEAM_ID}&id={USER_ID}
where {TEAM_ID} is a slack Team ID and {USER_ID} is a slack Team member ID.
Step 6: Click Insert
Step 7: Save the page and check the result
Happy chatting!
That's it!
