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.

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.

Info

For detailed instructions on how to create webhooks, see Create a webhook event handler in the Coiote DM User Documentation.
