Excel Add-In for Slack

Build 24.0.9060

UserProfile

Retrieve a user's profile information, including their custom status. This table supports only Select and Update operations.

Select

The add-in will use the Slack API to process search criteria that refer to the UserId column. This column support server-side processing for the =,IN operator. The add-in processes other filters client-side within the add-in.

For example, the following queries are processed server side by the Slack APIs:

SELECT * FROM UserProfile WHERE UserId='W1234567890';
SELECT * FROM UserProfile WHERE UserId in ('W1234567890','W1234567891','W1234567892');

Insert

Slack does not support inserting new users.

Update

There are a number of requirements for updating the user profile:

  • Workspace must be on a paid plan to update the profile value for other users.
  • Must select “API” as the “Data source” within the Configure Profiles admin tool.
  • This operation requires to use a user access token (Not a bot token) that is users.profile:write.
  • Org users cannot change their own profile details.
  • You cannot change the profile details for another user unless you use a token that was generated by an Owner or Admin.
  • You also can only change the profile details for a user if your role level is higher than theirs.

You can update a user profile by providing the Id of the user. For example:

UPDATE UserProfile SET DisplayName = 'Steve', RealName='Steve Smith' , customfields='{"Xf0111111": {"value": "Engineer","alt": ""},"Xf0222222":{"value": "2022-04-11","alt": ""}}', StatusText='riding a train', StatusEmoji=':train:' WHERE userId = 'W1234567890';
