Botframework-sdk: Redirect following Slack bot installation

Created on 23 Sep 2016 · 10Comments · Source: microsoft/botframework-sdk

Hey there, we've received some feedback from Slack regarding our submission to the Slack App Directory:
"After the app is installed, it redirects back to a user's Slack team. It's best to redirect to a page on your site indicating success instead."
Is it possible to change the redirect URL using settings within the bot framework?

Hi @hughcameron, you can configure this URL in the "Landing Page URL" field in the Slack configuration page on your bot's dashboard.

Open dev.botframework.com
Open your bot's dashboard
Click "Edit" on the Slack channel
Add your landing page URL into the field

@dandriscoll I'm still having this problem with my bot - I've updated the Landing Page URL, but i am being redirected to https://bots.botframework.com/ Any ideas?

Please add your botid and we'll investigate

I'm closing this issue because it is not currently repeatable, and has been open for thirty days or longer without response from the last poster.

Same I'm also having this problem. I documented my repro steps here: https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-sdk/issues/5025

The main issue is the redirect does not redirect to the Landing Page Url if I click the "Add to Slack" button in the Slack Portal. It does work if I use the "Add to Slack" button generated by the Azure Bot Service for the Slack Channel. It probably works because it contains a redirect_uri query string parameter.

I would expect that the former should work. Otherwise things break if someone installs the app from the Slack portal.

Hello, I have the same problem. I added a Landing Page Url in Slack Channel Registration.

I expected that after the application installation from the Slack portal I will be redirected to my Landing Page with the authorization code, but I was redirected to https://dev.botframework.com/.

This is a big problem If you need information from the user during app registration.

I understand that the first Url in Redirect Urls has to be https://slack.botframework.com because the Azure Bot Service needs to store the tokens etc.

I am developing a bot but I need some information from a user after/before app installation (teamid, team name, etc.). How could I solve it with the bot framework?
