Slack Notifier

Slack Notifier utilitizes Slack's Incoming Webhooks feature to post messages directly to a Slack channel of your choosing through your individual Slack app Webhook URL.

Installation

These instructions assume you already have Composer installed on your machine or the server you are working on.

Install through Composer:

composer require timkippdev/slack-notifier

Usage

Creating Slack App and Enabling Incoming Webhooks

See the following instructions provided by Slack to create your app, if needed, and obtain your Webhook URL:

https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks#getting-started

Setup SlackNotifier Instance

Once you have your Webhook URL, you can create a new instance of the SlackNotifier class:

// your Webhook URL
$webhookAPI = 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/Txxxxxx/Byyyyyyy/Zzzzzzzzz';

// new SlackNotifier instance
$slackNotifier = new \TimKippDev\SlackNotifier\SlackNotifier($webhookAPI);

You can also choose to invoke the static sendMessageToChannel method instead of creating your own instance.

Sending Messages

Now that you have your SlackNotifier instance created, you can use it to send a message with optional attachments to the channel configured from your Webhook URL.

Simple Message Using Instance Method

$slackNotifier->sendMessage('First message using Slack Notifier!');

Simple Message Using Static Method

We provide a static method to invoke to easily send messages to different channels so you are not tied down to a single instance.

\TimKippDev\SlackNotifier\SlackNotifier::sendMessageToChannel($webhookAPI, 'First message using Slack Notifier!');

Message with Attachments

For the complete Slack message attachment documentation, see the following link: https://api.slack.com/docs/message-attachments
