This workload will perform the following interactions:
Google Chrome browser is optional to be installed - if Slack needs to be logged into/authenticated via a web browser, then Chrome will be needed (or another web browser, but the script will need to be customized to support it). Environment: Win 10 Pro 圆4 winver 1909 18363.720 | Slack for Windows version 4.4.0 | Login Enterprise ScriptingToolset version 4.0.11. Please read each of the commented-out portions of this script, to see what it does and if there are lines which should be commented out or changed (variables, for example). Now, in the future, I would hope Slack could provide that same ease within a native app, but for now it’s a weird but positive step forward. However, because the web app populates the login page with all your active workspaces, it actually reduces effort-it’s better than the native desktop login approach. You’d think this would be a worse experience because of the round trip. You can also enter the Slack subdomain in the web app’s login page, and then proceed through a normal password (and second-factor) login entry or use a magic link. From there, you can either click on any workspace listed that you’re already logged into, saving time and effort, and the web app requests opening the native desktop app, which then adds the workspace with no further effort. Click the + in the Workspaces sidebar, and the Slack desktop app opens a browser window that’s related to all workspaces for which you use the same email address. (The magic link is a URL that, when clicked, opens the web app, which in turn triggers the Slack native desktop app and adds the team.)Īs of March 11, 2019, however, the native desktop apps no longer allow a direct login. 
Previously, you could click the big + at the bottom of the native desktop app’s Workspaces sidebar, and you’d be prompted within the desktop app to enter a workspace subdomain name, and proceed through a log in or generate a magic link sent via email. You can no longer log into a workspace from a native desktop app. However, Slack just removed a feature from the native desktop apps, that you would think makes the desktop app worse-but, in fact, makes it better. The native apps have a few distinct advantages I mention in the book over using the web app.
In macOS and Windows, Slack offers both native desktop apps and a robust web app that works across major browsers.
