Open Miro links from Slack in the Miro app
A Miro link shared in Slack opens in the browser, and you have to click through to get to the app. Alpaca is a free Slack bot that notices Miro links in your channels and direct messages and replies with a link that opens the boards straight in the Miro desktop app, bypassing the browser.
How it works
Someone posts a Miro link in Slack:
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOa1b2c3=/Alpaca replies with:miroapp://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOa1b2c3=/Click the reply (if your workspace allows it) or copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the address bar: the Miro desktop app opens directly. The Miro app must be installed on your computer.
Get started
- Add Alpaca to your Slack workspace. It is free, with no account or paid plan.
- Invite it to a channel with
/invite @Alpaca, or write to Alpaca in a direct message. - Share any Miro link and Alpaca replies with the desktop-app link.
