Download and install Slack.alfredworkflow
Create a custom app for your team following these steps.
Once you have your client ID and Secret, visit the address https://yannickglt.github.io/alfred-slack/ to generate a unique code for authentication in the Workflow.
1. Enter your team name in the first field and your client ID in the second one, then click on the button "Generate code".
1. Authorize the app to access your Slack team with the rights below.
1. Copy your generated unique code in your clipboard.
Launch the slack workflow with the parameter --add-client followed by the concatenation of the generated unique code and client Secret separated by a colon (e.g.: UNIQUE_CODE:CLIENT_SECRET). You can add several clients if you want to collaborate with several teams. You just need to repeat the two last steps.

Example:
```
slack --add-client 1234567890.123456789012|1234567890.123456789012.abcdef1234:1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
```
Launch the cache refresh by taping the command --refresh.

Example:
```
slack --refresh
```
The cache refresh may take up to several minutes depending on your organization size.
Enjoy!

Note: install the Packal Updater workflow if you want automatic updates.
