Is my Slack token stored securely?

Yes, your credentials are saved locally on your machine in the plugin's configuration directory with restricted permissions (chmod 600), ensuring only your user account can read them.

Why do I need to provide a session cookie?

This plugin uses your existing browser session to interact with Slack, which requires the session cookie (xoxd-) to maintain authentication without requiring a complex OAuth application setup.

How often do I need to run this setup?

Setup is typically a one-time process. You will only need to run it again if you log out of Slack in your browser or if your session tokens expire, which usually takes several weeks.

Where do I find the 'xoxc-' token?

Open your browser's Developer Tools, go to the Network tab, send a message in Slack, and look for the 'token' field in the 'Payload' or 'Form Data' section of the 'chat.postMessage' request.
