TLDR: Slack sync not working I'm running Linen locally and followed the exact instructions for setting up Slack sync. but when I visit

http://localhost:3000/api/sync?account_id=MY_ACCOUNTID

nothing is happening. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, I'm unsure on setting up discord sync

!mc I wouldn't recommend using the api/sync method for syncing if you are self hosting. We built that initially when we didn't have the frontend and is probably broken. I would recommend you get set up with the client side and create a community and press the sync button. You also need to set up https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md#optional-local-domain-redirect-testing as well as create a Slack app for it to work. Can you tell me a bit more about your use case?

Hi, I set up the redirect as well with ngrok. But when I press Connect to Slack -> allow in Slack channel It simply returns

"message": "Not Found"

as a response. Usecase: I want to make my slack conversations indexable

Do you have a Slack app created? You need to create and set up a Slack app with your Ngrok url infomation

Yes I did.

hi @mc, since sync job is a long running task, you will need to start the queue service, try with

yarn td queue

on root folder. This will run the queue service on development mode

Ah. let me try this

hi mc, you will need to run the push service in another terminal, check the push readme for more info about how to start it https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/tree/main/apps/push_service

Hi sandro. Yes, I started push service in another terminal. When I open the chat interface in browser, phoenix server is logging a client connection has been established. Still I don't recieve messages in realtime

there might be some env params missing, please have a look at the dev folder for an example startup script

hey mc, it should be /api/oauth https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/blob/main/dev/slackApp/sampleAppManifest.yml#L11

Hi sandro, It wasn't working because of missing env. It's solved. Thanks sandro & emil

If you want to receive messages from slack you have to enable the "webhook" queue task https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/blob/main/packages/queue/src/index.ts#L68

Yes, it is enabled already. My question is. The slack app is being added to only one channel in slack. In that case, Do I have to manually create that channel in linen.dev or it'll be automatically created when the slack connection is made

It'll be automatically created. Only public channels will be synced with linen.

Not sure why, the channel is not being created automatically

did you manage to run the initial sync? did the sync created the slack channels on linen? did you manage to send a message in slack into some of these channels and see it on linen?

with the configuration settings, I managed to connect it to Slack. Once the channel is selected, it just redirects to the linen configuration page. No channel is being created and no messages are appearing. When I send a new message in slack, it's triggering the webhook endpoint, which I can see in the ngrok console. But nothing is happening

Any reason to not use the free tier of Linen?

We are experimenting with the self-hosted version.
