Slack integration to batch delete messages

Primary LanguageRuby

Paper Shredder

Paper Shredder is a Slack integration that helps keep your private messages private.

##Set Up

At the moment, Paper shredder is only an unofficial slash command integration, not an official Slack app. Until it is, you have a couple option.

  1. Get in touch with the creator, Ryan Novas, via his website. He'll hook you up with Paper Shredder.

  2. Fork this repo, host the app where ever you want, and set an environmental variable SLACK_API_KEY=your_api_key. Finally, set up a slash command that sends a POST request to the app.

##Usage

Once the slash command has been set up access Paper Shredder by typing /paper_shredder last number_of_messages_you_want_to_delete

This will only work in DM's, and there is an upper limit of 100 messages(imposed by the Slack API). There will be more features coming soon.
