Slacker

Slacker is an OTP application for sending messages to slack.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add slacker to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do [{:slacker, "~> 0.0.1"}] end

2. Ensure slacker is started before your application:

   def application do [applications: [:slacker]] end

3. Configure the slack connection in config/config.exs

   config :slacker, :slack, enabled: true, url: "https://slack.com/api", url_action: "/chat.postMessage", channel: "devops", botname: "ops"

4. Configure the slack API key in config/<env>.exs

   config :slacker, :slack, token: ""

Usage

Slacker.Slack.send_message("<message goes here>")

The message must be a string so if there is any doubt that it is not a string do the following:

Slacker.Slack.send_message("#{inspect <value-to-send>}")
