Hubo - How to get flow / thread users - hubot

Question

How to get the users list from the current flow / thread with Hubot on Flowdock? I'd like to create plugin showing messages with the usage of current flow user names.
I have found this: robot.brain.data.users
but it returns the whole list of users from organization rather than from the current flow.

Answer 1

The list of a flow’s users can be fetched using the Flows resource. You'll need to know the Organization name and Flow name. See the 'Get a Flow' section here:
https://www.flowdock.com/api/flows
The format is:
GET /flows/:organization/:flow
and returns:
{
"id": "deadbeefdeadbeef",
"name": "My flow",
"parameterized_name": "my-flow",
"organization": {
"id": 8,
"name": "Acme",
"parameterized_name": "acme",

"user_count": 5,
