Slack does not preview (unfurl) alt text from tweets with images. Add this integration to get alt text unfurling.
The project runs on AWS Lambda.
- clone the repo and
npm install
. - run
brew install awscli && aws configure
to set your AWS access tokens. - copy
.env.sample
to.env
and set your Twitter and Slack secrets. - run
npx serverless deploy
. - copy the lambda url printed in the output, and add it to the Event Subscriptions Slack app config.
In Slack:
/invite @Alt Text Unfurl
Paste a link to a tweet that has alt text into the channel. For example https://twitter.com/philosophequeer/status/1404408769551994880
