Slack plugin: automatically subscribe a channel to updates on a topic when link is shared

[vinothkannans (Vinoth Kannan)]

Yes. Slack commands are far better option comparing to outgoing webhooks. But it needs a dedicated slack app for Discourse. And also needs a microservice bridge to connect all client installs with slack app. I am already discussing with Discourse team to create it.

Alternatively, we could require something like this:

/discourse [watch|follow|mute|help|status] [category|tag:name|all]

I think this one is better.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
