The Slack Get Users action is used to retrieve a list of users in a Slack workspace. This action allows your application to access team member information in bulk. It is particularly useful for team management, creating user selection lists, role-based filtering, or reporting scenarios.
Technical Specifications
Retrieving User List: The Slack Get Users action retrieves a list of users via the Slack API.
Parameter Compatibility:
settings (Object – required): Configuration information required for Slack integration.
cursor (String – optional): Used for pagination; the cursor value returned by the API must be entered to retrieve the next list of users.
limit (Int32 – optional): Maximum number of users to return. By default, it attempts to fetch all users, but setting a specific limit is recommended for performance.
Value Binding: Fixed values can be entered, or dynamic values (Action Result, Current, Form Component, Screen Input, etc.) can be bound via the Symbol Picker tool.
Web & Mobile Support: The action can be used in both web and mobile applications.
Slack Get Users Action Application Steps
1. Defining the Action in UI Design
Open your project on the Kuika platform.
In the UI Design module, select the screen where you want to access the user list.
Add a button (e.g., “Get Users”).
Select the button and add the OnClick → Slack → Get Users action from the + ADD ACTION menu.
2. Configuring Parameters
settings (required): Select the defined settings for Slack integration.
cursor (optional): If you want to get users after the first query, enter the cursor value returned from the previous call here.
limit (optional): For example, if you enter 20, a maximum of 20 user details will be returned.
Use Case: Listing Team Members in Slack
This can be used in a management application to display the names and email addresses of all Slack users.
Steps:
Add a button in UI Design: “Get Users”.
Add the OnClick → Slack → Slack Get Users action.
Enter a value such as 20 in the limit parameter.
Display the returned user results in the Table element.
Slack Get Users Advanced Customizations
Pagination: If the number of users exceeds the limit, the next users can be fetched using the “Show More” button with the cursor parameter.
Filtering: The returned results can be filtered by department or role information.
Dynamic Use: The limit value can be obtained from the input field according to user preferences.
Technical Risks and Controls
settings must not be empty, otherwise the API call will not work.
The cursor value should only be used with valid values returned from the API.
If the limit is set too high, performance issues may occur.
