How the connection works
Section titled “How the connection works”Kura-chan connects to Slack over Socket Mode — an outbound WebSocket from your device to Slack. There’s no public URL or inbound webhook, so it works behind a home router or on a NAS with no port-forwarding. The trade-off is that the app needs two tokens instead of one: a Bot token (xoxb-…) and an App-level token (xapp-…). The two tokens explains each.
Set it up
Section titled “Set it up” Before you begin What you need and the shape of the ~10-minute setup.
The path is: Before you begin → Create the Slack app → Get your two tokens → Verify.
