with a bot token?
You are able to update a user's status, however, you will not be able to do this with a bot token. Since you are taking actions on the user's behalf, you will need to use a user token. See more https://api.slack.com/methods/users.profile.set
and also how to get email of user who install my slack application
You are not able to get the emails of user's on install, however, you are able to achieve this through other Slack events. For example when the user access the Slack's app Home.
First subscribe to the app_home_opened event
When the event happens, get the user ID of the slack user
Utilize the users.info method to gather info on the user. See more: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.info
For this to work, ensure you have the users:read:email scope for your bot. See more: https://api.slack.com/scopes/users:read.email

I am working on an application using Firebase and Node as Back-End.
My app has an admin access and I want to create temporary access to users accounts.
I also wanted to have a history of all the logins on users account with infos such as web browser, localisation etc... for security purposes.
My idea is to create a one time use temporary auth token for an user and give it to the auth function from Firebase.
But I want to stay connected as an Admin still, so I thought about an iFrame inside the main window.
I am having trouble finding infos on the web, wanted to know if you had any leads or better ideas/way to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Firebase Authentication on its own does not provide a log of user sign-in actions, but with the new, optional Firebase Authentication with Identity upgrade you get User activity and audit logging. From the feature overview:
User activity and audit logging
Monitor and log administrative access and end-user activity.
When you upgrade your project, you automatically enable admin activity audit logs in Cloud Logging. You can also enable user activity logging on the Authentication Settings page of the Firebase console.
To learn how to view and analyze your logs, see the Cloud Logging documentation.
Creating a custom token for the user you want to impersonate and then using that to sign in should work. If you want to sign in with two different users, you can create two instance of FirebaseApp, and sign in to the auth member for each user.
Is there a way in which I can retrieve the links to all the social medias and other accounts a person has connected to their discord account?
I searched the docs to no avail and tried looking in the user object but I found nothing. I assume there must be some way in which I can retrieve this information?
As far as I know it's not possible with just the code of the bot. To get the connections, you must bring the user to authorize your application Oauth. Its like adding a bot to a server, but instead of doing this the user authenticates the bot to get some information about the user.
What i want :
I need to create a twitter application in which i will be providing user login, once user gets logged in, it should ask user to give permissions for Direct message and tweets, once user allows for it, i need that user's Consumer API keys Access-token and access token secret keys
What i did :
I have created an application for my Twitter account, I have generated
Consumer API keys Access-token and access token secret keys for
my application, now which way i should go?
I have seen couple of application which asks users to get logged in and their application generates access token n etc for logged in user, and stores to their DB, which can be used later on for sending and receiving DMs and tweets in customer support like applications.
I am looking to do it using java-script.
Your help would be appreciated.
Please let me know if you required further details.
I wrote a Javascript application that allows users to schedule tweets, retweets, and like tweets, and it uses technology you are asking about.
It does not generate Access Tokens & etc. for the user, because that's Twitter's job... But once the user collects those from Twitter and saves them in my application, you can set up tweets, and schedule when they should go out, and it will Tweet to your account for you using the Twitter API.
Here is my app, you can look through as an example, or even download yourself and run locally on your computer.
Here are the code files on GitHub
This is the live app! Try It!
Your apps needs a server, and if you run a Nodejs server, you can use this NPM package to make interacting with the Twitter API very very easily. IT supports, Tweets, Media Uploads, DMs, Streams, almost everything!
NPM Twit
If you want users to be able to login into your website/app using their Twitter account, you can use Passport.js to easily accomplish this. Search on YouTube, there are many many tutorials.
Passport + Twitter Auth Strategy
Good luck!
EDIT: To answers you're comments: Yes - you can get/send Tweets and DMs on behalf of another account. You MUST acquire the API KEY & SECRET and the ACCESS TOKEN & SECRET. The client MUST provide these to you. There is no other way to Tweet and DM for other accounts, aside from getting their password and logging directly into Twitter. Read Twitter Developer Docs.
I am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around how to connect to my OAuth2 Freshbooks API from my bot. Currently I have my API set up such that hitting the /auth route will take the user to the Freshbooks login page and once successfully authenticated the token is returned back to the user. After we have the token the user can get all of their invoices in my web app.
Now, when I build a DialogFlow bot, how do I go about this? What I have thought about is that the user first hits the /auth route which returns the authorization URL which the user can then open in their browser and log in...but after login, how do I return back to my bot?
After a successful login, the /callback route is called by my api with the authorization code to get the token...but this will not be returned back to the bot since it is all happening in the browser...I think.
What is the best approach for this?
Also, after getting the token from my API, should this be stored in a context in my bot?
Thanks for the help and sorry if this is a beginner question. I tried finding an answer online but I just cant wrap my head around this one.
Assuming that your OAuth service is configured correctly you don't have to worry about any of this. The procedure works roughly as follows:
Account linking is triggered via one of two ways:
If you need a linked account to fulfill a certain intent you can simply check the Sign in required box of that intent in the Google Assistant integrations page in your Dialogflow project. If you check this for all intents that are listed for invocation the user can only use your agent once they have an account linked.
The other option is to manually call the sigin helper. This can be done at any point during the conversation, i.e. it does not have to be tied to a particular intent.
When the account linking procedure starts the Google Assistant will load your login page in an in-app browser.
Once the user has authorized your client the OAuth service should (like any OAuth service) redirect the user back to the client. On the Google Assistant this happens via a redirect url of the format https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/<google developer project ID>.
After that Actions on Google calls your fulfillment service with the original intent (the one that triggered account linking), only this time with a valid access token for your service.
Such an access token will from now on be included in every fulfillment request your receive from Actions on Google. You do not have to store this token, you should always use the one that is send in the request.
For more details see the Implement Account Linking documentation.
I need to access status updates of an artist page to display as feed on my website.
So everytime a user accesses the artist' space on my website, he sees the artist's status feed in a tab.
Do I need to ask for the artist's permission every session? That would not be practical I guess.
Thanks
You only need to ask permission once, when the user logins for the first time.
If you use the client side JS SDK, that is really all you need to worry about. The access_token will be automatically refreshed by the SDK whenever needed. The user only needs to be logged in to facebook, no action is required.
You will most likely be using the JS SDK.
So unless you use a manual server side oauth flow, see below:
If you use a manual server side oauth flow you usually get a short-term access_token that is valid for 2 hours after the user logs in for the first time.
You can request a long term access_token by sending a request to oauth/access_token with some additional parameters:
See here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens#extending
This long lived access_token is valid indefinitely, but may expire at ANY moment.
Reasons could be:
user password change
user logout
use de-authorizes app
...
So you are to just reuse the access_token whenever you want to interact with the users facebook account ( you don't have to ask them to log in again).
But as soon as your access_token becomes invalid, you have to update the acces_token by sending the user trough the oauth flow again.
