Slack#

This tutorial explains how to use Data Integration Center to send messages to a Slack channel using the Slack API.

Prerequisites#

  • Slack account with appropriate permissions
  • Chosen Slack channel

Setup Slack#

To send messages to Slack:

  1. Install Incoming Webhooks.
  2. Configure it by choosing a channel e.g coiote-integration.
  3. Copy Webhook URL. Slack App Settings

Create webhook#

  1. From the previous step, paste Webhook URL as url.
  2. Set the Authorization to No authorization, as Slack treats the URL as a token itself.

  3. As body template, set e.g:

    {
  "text": "Created new device: $endpointName"
}

    You can adjust the webhook according to your needs.
