Single Channel Guests Feature is broken
See original GitHub issueDescription
Tried to get it working for 2 hours now but either I’m super stupid or the feature is just broken. No matter what I do, users always join as full members and not as guests. I did manage to finally get the channels-selection to show up as can be seen in the screenshot but invites still always turns people into full members.
We do have a paid account and manually converting users into guests works just fine
Reproduce
git clone https://github.com/rauchg/slackin
- Add
SLACK_CHANNELS
toenv
-Array inpackage.json
now
- When prompted for
SLACK_CHANNELS
, I enteredgeneral,
(the trailing comma tip i have from this issue, seems there’s a bug when just specifying one channel) - Visit now-URL
- Select
general
-channel - Join Slack
- ❌ I am a full user
Happy about any pointers, spend a long time now going through the code but can’t find the root cause of this. Did Slack change their API maybe? /cc @rauchg

In the latest build the trailing comma is still required to show the drop down list as shown in the screenshot in the issue description. However, despite this currently the single channel selection is not working. My users are still joining the #general and #random channels, no matter how I configure SlackIn.
