Description
This plugin integrates Slack and WordPress.
Core Conception
By default, this plugin does nothing. It’s true.
Slack has many API intergrations, but hameslack uses 3 of them.
- Incoming Webhook to post to slack.
- Outgoing Webhook to get request from slack.
- Custom Bot to interact with slack.
- Sending Invitation to existing user(CAUTION: this is unofficial API usage).
Upper is easier. This plugin helps the connection between Slack and WordPress and you can concentrate on what you should do with slack.
Use Cases
Here is a list of use case of us on WordPress with many editors.
- Easy Post notification to slack if some post is awaiting review.
- Bit Difficult Post accesss summary to slack once a week, because my collegue doesn’t open Google Analytics.
- Very Difficult Convert slack conversation to single post and make interview post.
For more details, please read our Documentation. We have some samples.
How to Integrate
The simplest usage is post to slack. You can do like below:
do_action( 'hameslack', $text_to_post, $attachments, $channel );
Function is also available, but I prefer to use do_action to avoid annoying if ( function_exists('func_name')).
Everything works fine if you set properly.
