Slack to OpsGenie Alert Creator

Some of our customers want a way to create alerts from messages sent to a Slack channel. This is a sample Lambda function to help you achieve this.

It is an Outgoing WebHook application for Slack. Slack will post the messages sent to a channel to our API Gateway endpoint and we will create an alert in OpsGenie by using our AWS Lambda function.

Prerequisites

Install Node.js and npm

How to use

Clone or download the repository
In repository's folder run npm install command
Install serverless for easy deployment, it will deploy lambda function and create an API Gateway endpoint automatically
- Run npm install -g serverless to install serverless globally
- Update serverless.yml file by entering slackToken (received from Slack integration page) and opsgenieApiKey (received from OpsGenie Api Integration) environment variables
- Follow these instructions on setting up AWS credentials for Serverless if you haven't done already
- Run serverless deploy and all you want will be ready at a glance!
- Copy the link from the command line (one in the orange square in the image below) or you can always find it in your AWS account's API Gateway service
- Paste it to your Slack integration
- You can always take it back by running serverless remove command

In Slack

Go https://slack.com/apps/build/custom-integration and add a new Outgoing Webhooks integration

Configure your Outgoing Webhook
- Select a channel (optional)
- Select a keyword (optional)
