Slackhook

The only module you'll need for custom hooks that integrate with Slack.

Installation

npm install slackhook

Requirements

You'll need a domain and token from Slack.

The domain will be the organisation part of <organisation>.slack.com

The token is given to you when you create your incoming webhook integration.

Usage

var Slackhook = require('slackhook');
var slack = new Slackhook({
    domain: 'yourdomain',
    token: 'yourtoken'
});

Sending

You can set up incoming webhooks here

slack.send({
    content: 'Hi everybody',
    channel: '#general',
    username: 'Dr. Nick',
    icon_url: 'drnick.png' 
});

You can pass the send method a callback if you like.

slack.send({
    text: 'Hi Dr. Nick!',
    channel: '#general',
    username: 'Everybody',
    icon_emoji: 'smile'
}, function(err, response){
    // Do your thing
});

Responding

You can also respond to webhooks coming from Slack. You could use this to make a chat bot etc.

You can set up outgoing webhooks here

This example assumes you're running inside an Express.js route.

app.post('/outgoing', function(req, res){
    var hook = slack.respond(req.body);
    res.json({text: 'Hi ' + hook.user_name, username: 'Dr. Nick'});
});
