Slack integration

Post by tford »

Has anyone pushed Aware IM data into Slack using an API?

I have not done it myself but it can be done using
https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks
Incoming Webhooks are a simple way to post messages from apps into Slack. Creating an Incoming Webhook gives you a unique URL to which you send a JSON payload with the message text and some options.

You will need to create JSON payload.

Yep, I was looking at that yesterday and curious if anyone had tackled it.

Yes we have done a basic, alert system to push notifications from our Work Management system (written in Aware) into our Developer's Slack room, so they get notified when we assign them work. Pretty simple, uses an Aware service to POST this:


{"text"
: "*NEW HIT#2510* for ClientName \n Assigned by: Rod \nSubject: Please add ML Region column in the Search Invoices grid from the Customer Invoices module","mrkdwn"
: true
}

And you get this:

Thanks Rod!

I'll share what I learn after I do a proof of concept.
