Add feature: Start-Call

[mathysie]

During the pandemic my team moved from the office to working at home. The discussions therefore moved to Slack. Informal spontaneous meet-ups however doe not happen as likely. Therefore we would like to write a script that lets Slack start calls at random times with one of my teammates.

To do this we would like to have a Start-Call feature in this module. The syntax would be something like Start-Call X with X the name of the teammate that is also used in @-mentions. Support for Start-Call X Y where X and Y are different team members would also be great, such that a spontaneous group call is initiated.

TIL (ctrl+f call)!

If someone wants to take a stab at:

• Get-SlackCall
• Start-SlackCall
• Stop-SlackCall
• less clear on name... but something to add/remove user from slack call, maybe just Set-SlackCall? or Add-SlackCallUser/Remove-SlackCallUser

I could see it being pretty handy

Ahh so disappointing. If I'm reading the method details correctly, this is more about telling Slack about a call that is external to Slack. Slack simply displays a way for folks to connect. AFAICT it's not actually starting a slack call (i.e. /call or clicking a user then call). Could be wrong though, if anyone wants to poke around.

Cheers!
