Question

I m doing everything in here:

https://api.slack.com/apis/connections/socket

I get my:

{"type":"hello","num_connections":1,"debug_info":{"host":"applink-2","build_number":36,"approximate_connection_time":18060},"connection_info":{"app_id":"A05GWDCG6GY"}}

hello message on the web socket connection. Then I want to use that connection not to receive events, but to post as a specific user with a user token.

I ve tried various payloads like:

  message := map[string]string{}
  message["type"] = "message"
  message["channel"] = channel
  message["app_id"] = s.AppId
  message["user_id"] = user
  message["text"] = "test123"
  message["token"] = token
  asBytes, _ = json.Marshal(message)

but there doesn t seem to be any docs on how to send a message as a user over web sockets or set their presence. My goal being:

How to get the green dot to turn on for slack user from API POST to users.setPresence?

Answer 1

There is no way to do this with their Socket Mode system. You can receive events from the web socket connections, but you cannot post as a user or set the user to online. The only way to do this would be cookie auth and actually run a browser with the user logged in.
