Slack Newsletter

This application allows you to generate a newsletter from your Slack channels. It goes through the channels looking for links, combines them into a html file, and sends it by email. It's ideal for keeping track of your finds when the historical Slack reaches its limit.

Installation & Configuration

  1. Clone the project and launch composer install inside.

  2. Generate a Token on your slack workspace - Currently only tested with legacy token

  3. In your .env, complete your smtp configuration and add your Slack token like that :

SLACK_TOKEN=xoxp-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX

  1. Choose your channels to browse and add them in config/channels.json. You can check out the config/channels.json.dist to see how add a new channels

  2. Add receivers for your newsletter in config/receivers.json

  3. (OPTIONNAL) : Pimp your newsletter by altering parameters in config/package/parameters.yaml

  4. Configure your cron to execute command to browse, build, and send newsletter.

For example :

## Every day at 8am, browse channels and store them
0 8 * * * php bin/console app:newsletter:browse
## Every monday at 8:05 am, build the newsletter and send it
5 8 * * 1 php bin/console app:newsletter:build && php bin/console app:newsletter:send

Thank to theirs awesome work.

Customize the newsletter

If you want to customize the newsletter, all templates are in templates folder.

Before testing rendering, you have to retrieve some messages :

php bin/console app:newsletter:browse -d 5

The -d or --days is to specified how many days to retrieve. You can have lots of data by this way.

To test the view in web-browser, launch the built-in web server :

php bin/console server:run

and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/mail

But you probably have to send emails to test compatibility with emails viewer.

You can launch theses commands to avoid archivation of messages and builded news.

php bin/console app:newsletter:build --no-archive
php bin/console app:newsletter:send --no-archive
