slackbuzz auth login

Authenticate with Slack

Synopsis

Store Slack API tokens for CLI access.

Slack uses two types of tokens: Bot token (xoxb-) — posting, reading channels, users User token (xoxp-) — searching messages (search:read scope)

The token type is auto-detected from its prefix. You can paste either type and it will be stored correctly.

Get tokens from your Slack App: api.slack.com/apps > OAuth & Permissions.

In non-interactive environments (CI), pipe a token via stdin: echo “xoxb-…” | slackbuzz auth login —with-token
