Using one Flic hub for several Slack users?
-
Hi, we just bought a Flic hub at our company with the intention of setting up a button for every Slack user at the company. It looks like we can't connect a Slack user to each button, only for the Hub as a whole. Is there a way to get around this?

@emil I see. I'll look into the API and give it a try. Thank you!

It's correct that the Flic Hub can only be logged in to one account at a time.
You could select "from bot" to send a message from the generic "flicbot" name, instead of from a user, if that would work for you.
If you really need to send a message and have the correct username set as sender, you will need to use the Slack API directly (see https://api.slack.com/messaging/sending), which unfortunately will be much more advanced. Once you have crafted the http request needed to send a message, you can use the Internet Request action in our app to send it whenever a Flic button is pressed. You could also use our Hub SDK to do the same.
