feat(slack): Enhanced API integration with complete Slack compliance and critical production fixes #1381
Conversation
WalkthroughUpdates replace bespoke return shapes with SlackResponse across many Slack modules, refactors DM sending to open a DM channel before posting, consolidates file uploads to V2 (removes uploadV2), adjusts reactions payload/typing, fixes webhook header casing, updates manifest action mappings, and adds two Slack scopes.

13-40: Critical: verify Slack request signature before forwarding.This endpoint forwards unverified bodies to
ctx.webhookUrl. Without HMAC verification (X-Slack-Signature+X-Slack-Request-Timestamp), anyone can spoof events and trigger internal side effects. Validate before forwarding; if invalid, skip the fetch. Slack requires honoring 3-second response windows; signature verification is cheap and won’t impact that. (api.slack.com)Apply this minimal patch (adjust secret source to your config):
-export default function webhookPayload( +export default async function webhookPayload( props: WebhookPayload, req: Request, ctx: AppContext, ): Promise<{ challenge: string }> { + // Verify Slack signature + const valid = await verifySlackSignature(req, Deno.env.get("SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET") ??

311-316: Add 429 handling, Retry-After, and timeouts around all Slack fetches.None of these requests handle HTTP 429 /
Retry-Afteror set timeouts. Slack mandates respecting 429 and retrying afterRetry-After. Add a thin request wrapper with exponential backoff and conservative retries (idempotent reads only; writes retry on 429 only). (api.slack.com)Patch (adds wrapper + uses it in two places; apply similarly elsewhere):
class SlackClient { @@ constructor( @@ } + + // Centralized request with rate-limit + timeout handling + private async request( + url: string, + init: RequestInit = {}, + opts: { maxRetries?: number; timeoutMs?: number; idempotent?: boolean } = {}, + ): Promise<Response> { + const { maxRetries = 2, timeoutMs = 10_000, idempotent = true } = opts; + let attempt = 0; + let backoff = 500; + for (;;) { + const controller = new AbortController(); + const timer = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), timeoutMs); + try { + const resp = await fetch(url, { ...init, signal: controller.signal }); + if (resp.status === 429 && attempt < maxRetries) { + const ra = parseInt(resp.headers.get("Retry-After") ??

42-48: Usetimestamp(notts) for reactions.add request payloadSlack's reactions.add requires the request argument named
timestamp; the code and interface currently send/usets— update both to match the API. (api.slack.com)
- Update slack/utils/client.ts — "POST /reactions.add" json: replace
ts: string→timestamp: string."POST /reactions.add": { json: { channel: string; - ts: string; + timestamp: string; name: string; }; response: SlackResponse<{ channel: string; ts: string }>; };
- Update slack/client.ts (addReaction) — POST body: replace
ts: timestampwithtimestamp: timestamp(or shorthandtimestamp) so the outgoing payload usestimestamp.

slack/loaders/dms/list.ts (1)
26-36: Breaking change: next_cursor no longer exposed at top-level.Previous callers may rely on
next_cursor; with SlackResponse they must readresponse_metadata?.next_cursor. Confirm no external dependents expect the old shape, or re-exposenext_cursorindatafor backward compatibility.Option: include a convenience pass-through without breaking SlackResponse:
-): Promise<SlackResponse<{ channels: SlackChannel[] }>> { +): Promise<SlackResponse<{ channels: SlackChannel[]; next_cursor?: string }>> { @@ - return await ctx.slack.listDmChannels(limit, props.cursor); + const res = await ctx.slack.listDmChannels(limit, props.cursor); + return { ...res, data: { channels: res.data.channels, next_cursor: res.response_metadata?.next_cursor } };slack/loaders/conversations/open.ts (1)
20-27: LGTM; consistent with SlackResponse pattern.Directly returning
ctx.slack.openDmChannelsimplifies the loader. Consider populating an emptychannelshape on error for stricter typing, but current approach is acceptable.Also applies to: 29-36
slack/actions/files/upload.ts (2)
60-67: Normalize Uint8Array to Blob before calling uploadFileV2Guard against runtime type mismatches in the client by normalizing Uint8Array locally. This is safe and no‑op for other accepted types.
Apply this diff:
- return await ctx.slack.uploadFileV2({ + const fileInput = + props.file instanceof Uint8Array ? new Blob([props.file]) : props.file; + return await ctx.slack.uploadFileV2({ channels: props.channels, - file: props.file, + file: fileInput, filename: props.filename, title: props.title, thread_ts: props.thread_ts, initial_comment: props.initial_comment, });
46-58: Make uploadFileV2 return type consistent with SlackFile or reuse a named upload responseuploadFileV2 (slack/client.ts) returns Promise<SlackResponse<{ files: Array<{ id: string; title?: string; name?: string; mimetype?: string; filetype?: string; permalink?: string; url_private?: string; }> }>> while SlackFile (client.ts) requires many additional fields (created, timestamp, pretty_type, user, size, etc.), so the inline upload shape is not assignable to SlackFile[]. Either change uploadFileV2 to return SlackResponse<{ files: SlackFile[] }> if the API actually returns full SlackFile objects, or reuse/introduce a named narrower type (e.g., SlackCompleteUploadResponse or SlackUploadSummary) and use that in slack/actions/files/upload.ts for consistency.
slack/actions/dms/send.ts (2)
18-18: Type blocks precisely to catch Block Kit mistakes at compile timePrefer SlackMessage['blocks'] (or a shared SlackBlock type) over unknown[].
Apply this diff:
- blocks?: unknown[]; + blocks?: SlackMessage['blocks'];
31-38: Avoid{}as SlackMessage; makemessageoptional in error casesCasting
{}to SlackMessage can mask bugs downstream. Makemessageoptional in the response type and omit it on errors.Apply these diffs:
- SlackResponse<{ - channel: string; - ts: string; - message: SlackMessage; - warning?: string; - }> + SlackResponse<{ + channel: string; + ts: string; + message?: SlackMessage; + warning?: string; + }>- return { + return { ok: false, error: channelResponse.error || "Failed to open DM channel", - data: { - channel: "", - ts: "", - message: {} as SlackMessage, - }, + data: { channel: "", ts: "" }, };- return { + return { ok: false, error: "No channel ID returned from conversations.open", - data: { - channel: "", - ts: "", - message: {} as SlackMessage, - }, + data: { channel: "", ts: "" }, };- return { + return { ok: false, error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error", - data: { - channel: "", - ts: "", - message: {} as SlackMessage, - }, + data: { channel: "", ts: "" }, };Also applies to: 45-52, 56-65, 75-81

50-55: Validate and clamp pagination inputs before delegatingPrevent accidental large requests and negative values. Use sane bounds and nullish coalescing instead of
||.Apply this diff:
- return await ctx.slack.listUserFiles( - props.userId, - props.count || 20, - props.page || 1, - props.types || "all", - ); + const count = Math.max(1, Math.min((props.count ?? 20), 200)); + const page = Math.max(1, (props.page ?? 1)); + const types = props.types ?? "all"; + return await ctx.slack.listUserFiles(props.userId, count, page, types);
59-65: Propagate consistent empty paging defaultsLooks good; paging defaults are consistent. Consider surfacing response_metadata.next_cursor if the client supports it for forward pagination in future.
slack/loaders/dms/history.ts (1)
62-68: Clamplimitto a safe range and preserve explicit defaultingAvoid extremes; use nullish coalescing and bounds.
Apply this diff:
- const limit = props.limit || 10; + const limit = Math.max(1, Math.min(props.limit ?? 10, 200));

39-39: Ensure the Slack client honors 429 / Retry‑After with exponential backoff + jitterAction delegates to the client, but my repository search produced no evidence of centralized 429/Retry‑After handling — confirm that ctx.slack.uploadFileV2 (or a shared client wrapper) parses Retry‑After and retries using exponential backoff + jitter; if it doesn’t, add a shared helper (see illustrative snippet in the original comment).

38-48: Confirm client response type compatibilityEnsure ctx.slack.listUserFiles returns Promise<SlackResponse<{ files: SlackFile[]; paging: { count: number; total: number; page: number; pages: number } }>> — if the client currently returns SlackResponse<SlackFile[]> or another shape, update the client generic or map the response before returning.
