SlackHook

A Simple Interface to Slack Incoming Webhooks Integrations

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slack_hook'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install slack_hook

Usage

Integrate incoming webhooks into your workspace.

slack_hook = SlackHook::Incoming.new("HOOK_URL")

payload={"text": "A very important thing has occurred! <https://alert-system.com/alerts/1234|Click here> for details!"}

slack_hook.post(payload)
#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

Message formatting (payload)

Slaсk currently provides two ways to format messages:

1. Message attachments (outmoded)
2. Block Kit

SlackHook support both approaches.

1. { text: 'hook text', attachments: []}
2. { blocks: [] }
