Call through Alter

Install @alter-ai/sdk @alter-ai/slack with npm, or alter-sdk-slack with pip. Supply your connected customer’s grant ID and the arguments described below.

import { App } from "@alter-ai/sdk";
import { SlackIntegration } from "@alter-ai/slack";

async function execute(input: Parameters<SlackIntegration["bots"]["info"]>[0]) {
  const app = new App({ apiKey: process.env.ALTER_API_KEY! });
  try {
    const provider = new SlackIntegration(app, { grantId: process.env.PROVIDER_GRANT_ID! });
    const call = await provider.bots.info(input);
    const result = await call.wait();
    return result.bodyJson();
  } finally {
    await app.close();
  }
}

async def execute(arguments):
    async with App(api_key=os.environ["ALTER_API_KEY"]) as app:
        provider = SlackIntegration(app, {"grant_id": os.environ["PROVIDER_GRANT_ID"]})
        call = await provider.bots.info(arguments)

Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: slack.bots_info. Catalog operation: bots_info. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.

Required provider scopes: ["users:read"]
