How Do I Find a User’s Slack Handle and Member ID?

Where can I find my Slack handle?

The best visitor management systems integrate with corporate instant messaging platforms, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Hangouts Chat.

1. Any channel ID

Open the slack webpage (http://[yourteam].slack.com) and then simply open the channel. The channel ID is displayed in the browser URL

2. Any user ID

To find a user ID you need to open your browser dev-tools console and inspect the user-link in the sidebar. The user ID can be found in the HTML attribute "data-member-id"

In Slack: (1) Click on the users name and choose (2) "Show Profile". Then open the "..." menu and you see the option (3) "Copy Member-ID ..." - to get your own user ID via the UI, you have to click the Team-Logo in top-left corner and then choose "Profile & Account"

3. Team ID

Simply open the dev-tools of your browser, switch to the "Console" tab and enter the text boot_data.team_id into the console. This will display your team ID
