Details:
Share to Slack (STS) is a Chrome extension allowing users to quickly and easily share websites they are visiting with anyone in their Slack organization, whether that is public or private channels, or individual private messages with coworkers.
Built using the Slack API, STS retrieves a list of your public and private channels, as well as the users within your organization, and combines them into a searchable/scrollable list for easy navigation. After selecting a channel or individual user to share a link with, you are free to add an additional comment to your share to indicate why you may be sharing this URL.
Permissions:
STS requires the "Browsing History" Google Chrome permission in order to access the active URL you are visiting.
STS requires the user, group and channel Slack permissions in order to provide you with a list of potential entities to message.
Installation:
To install STS, simply add the Chrome extension, visit the Settings page upon first launch and click the Auth button.
You will be asked to login to your respective Slack organization and accept the above mentioned permissions.
Once the permissions have been accepted, your account will be updated with the token, allowing you to share links from any Chrome browser, providing you are logged into you Google account.
To revoke STS's permissions at any time, simply visit the Settings page and select the red "Revoke Access" button.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
