Dub Shortlink Slackbot We started using dub.co for shortlinks at Mux, so we made a quick Slackbot to make it easier! Usage Fork this thing to your account Set up a Slack bot/app and have the webhooks point at your forked Val Add the following environment variables to Val.town: DUB_API_KEY your Dub API key DUB_WORKSPACE_ID your Dub workspace ID SLACK_MUX_LINK_SIGNING_SECRET Signing secret for the app you created Update the LINK_DOMAIN variable to be the one you want to use (needs to be set up in Dub, of course) Use the command you created in your Slack app! For us, it looks like this: /mux.link https://example.com neat-example This is a quick link for an example.

This is public so you can see what's in it. If it had real secrets, it should be private.

This val provides a way of readily having lots of different Slack bots that do different things and support different Slack workspaces without needing a bunch of Val Town accounts. If you only need a single bot on a single workspace, just go with the approach in the Val Town docs . This bot is essentially the one described in the Val Town docs , but without any of the details. Those are externalized by the SlackConfig and SlackFunction interfaces. It is just glue. In order to make it work, you will need the following additional glue: a public HTTP val to handle requests like this one a private val to supply any info missing from the public one like this one Actually, those could both be public or all in the same val, but the whole point of this scheme is to allow you to hide anything you want.
