Ideas from your Slack or Teams “wins” channel

A new client, a finished project, an award – teams usually share these in one channel. Sayweek turns them into post ideas: without the names of colleagues mentioned, crediting the author as the source.

Slack

1. 1Settings → All integrations → Slack → in the ideas part, click Add Sayweek to Slack and pick the workspace.
2. 2Pick up to 3 public channels (e.g. #wins), then Save.
3. 3When someone adds a 📣 reaction to a message, Sayweek picks it up into the ideas box within a few hours. You can change the emoji.

Microsoft Teams

1. 1Settings → All integrations → Teams notifications (webhook) → ideas: Create address, then copy the address.
2. 2In Teams: ⋯ next to the team name → Manage team → Apps → Create an outgoing webhook; name: Sayweek, callback URL: the copied address.
3. 3Copy the security token Teams shows, and paste it in Sayweek.
4. 4Write in the channel: @Sayweek and what you'd share – Sayweek confirms, and the idea goes to the ideas box.

For the operator: setting up the Slack app

If the Slack part says the app isn't switched on yet, the Sayweek operator has to create the Sayweek Slack app once at api.slack.com/apps: bot scopes channels:read, channels:join, channels:history, reactions:read, users:read; redirect URL /api/slack/callback; public distribution on; the Client ID and Client Secret into SLACK_CLIENT_ID and SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET. Teams needs no operator set-up.
