It would be helpful if there were some tests done along the way. Like seeing if the bot is online, is communicating with the cloud function, is reacting to events, etc. Right now if I follow this then it’s a hail marry and if something goes wrong I’m going to be slightly lost on where things broke

I am new at programming and do not understand what you did at 2:49. How did you create the code?
What kind of code is this?
I look forward to an answer. Thanks.

[@mr_phamtastic]

This is pretty awesome thank you!

[@OchirBFolo]

Where to get a flowchart you mentioned here?

[@vaibhavarora7782]

It would been great, if there would have been a demo involved in the end

Is it possible to have a slack app that you can say something like "/Countdown 30:00" and it will countdown from 30:00 LIVE. So you can see exactly how much time is left live where the app posted it. It has to be LIVE that is the key but I need to know if slack can do this before I try to learn how to create an app. The app would say "30:00" 29:59" "29:58" should update every second to give me the real time info of how much time is left. Is this possible?

I am brand new to Slack. What you are sharing is way beyond me. I see that Slack's instant messaging capability far exceeds what simple email can accomplish. After all, while emailing can result in bounce-backs, I doubt that is a problem with instant messaging. But, let's say I wanted to use Slack with the help of a Google Sheet to access my own LinkedIn account to post messages (different messages) to LinkedIn Groups where I am a member. How could I automate that process as opposed to doing it manually?

[@Irfan-vl6ij]

Nice explanation

not able to deploy firebase on a spark plan 🙃

Nice ...

[@armantavakoli5314]

Running a pubsub function on a local emulator seems to have a 60 second timeout on it - so "has no time limitation" is wrong?

[@Fireship]

You're right that's the function default time limit, but it can be extended to 540s.

[@armantavakoli5314]

@@Fireship Gotcha - so I guess the proper way to execute a long running task is to just have a hosted server do it (either Heroku/GAE/EC2 etc.), or split your single large call into many smaller serverless function calls.

i'm in internal communications team for a company that are using slack. Right now i post any new message but the team is growing and now everybody ask me anything. I need an app or something where i can post info with another name, like an avatar, but using my account ¿is it possible?

[@Giigigi1122]

I wish there is Copy of you doing this but in React too! But, im learning a lot of ts from videos.

I always wondered if you use windows or mac for your daily driver?

[@KazuyaDarklight]

Silly question, but how do you get the background of an app icon to actually be transparent? Whenever I try, the transparency ends up white in dark mode.

I dont know man, slack just sounds like discord for “professionals”
