Slack integration?

Hi, all:

Has anyone set up integration with slack, perhaps via a webhook?

I am also curious about integrating Slack with RT. Has anyone tried to
work on this?

thanks,

Hi Josh, Konstantin,

Just wondering if either of you pursued this, or possibly created your
own solution?

Nope, sorry, didn’t have enough cycles on the team to get this done.

I got something very basic working as a proof of concept, but I don’t
think I’ve got the interest to take it further. But for the benefit of
the list archives here it is. I put this in the cleanup code section of
a Scrip.

use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;
use JSON;

my $ticket = $self->TicketObj->id;
$ticket = “https://my.rt.url/$ticket|#$ticket”;
my $subject = $self->TicketObj->Subject;
my $description = $self->TransactionObj->Description;

my $data = { ‘text’ => “Ticket updated: $ticket - $subject\n$description.” };

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(15);

my $req = POST(“Unlock your productivity potential with Slack Platform | Slack…”, [‘payload’ => encode_json($data)]);

my $resp = $ua->request($req)->as_string;

I wrote a module for this a while back. You just need to save it as
local/lib/RT/Extension/Slack.pm and in RT_SiteConfig.pm you need to
define SlackIncomingWebhookURL and SlackIncomingWebhookToken. Then you
can simply call RT::Extension::Slack::Notify(%paramhash) wherever you
need.

For example:

 RT::Extension::Slack::Notify(username   => 'Mr. RT',
                              icon_emoji => 

‘:heavy_exclamation_mark:’,
text => $text);

— Slack.pm —
package RT::Extension::Slack;

use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;
use JSON;

sub Notify {
my %args = @_;
my $payload = {
username => ‘Mr. RT’,
icon_emoji => ‘:ghost:’,
text => ‘I have forgotten to say something’,
};
my $service_endpoint;
my $service_token;

foreach (keys %args) {
$payload->{$} = $args{$};
}
if (!$payload->{text}) {
return;
}
my $payload_json = encode_json($payload);

$service_endpoint = RT->Config->Get(‘SlackIncomingWebhookURL’);
$service_token = RT->Config->Get(‘SlackIncomingWebhookToken’);
if (!$service_endpoint || !$service_token) {
return;
}

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(10);

$RT::Logger->info(‘Pushing notification to Slack: ‘. $payload_json);
my $r = POST($service_endpoint .’?token=’. $service_token,
[ ‘payload’ => $payload_json ]);

my $response = $ua->request($r);
if ($response->is_success) {
$RT::Logger->info(‘Successfully pushed notification to Slack’);
}
else {
$RT::Logger->error(‘Failed to push notification to Slack (’.
$response->code .‘: ‘. $response->message .’)’);
}
}

This is an example action module that uses the Slack extension:

— NotifySlackOnCreate.pm —
use strict;
use warnings;

use base qw(RT::Action);

=head2 Prepare

=cut

sub Prepare {
my $self = shift;

 return 1;

}

=head2 Commit

=cut
sub Commit {
my $self = shift;
my $text;
my $requestor;
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj;
my $queue = $ticket->QueueObj;
my $url = join ‘’,
RT->Config->Get(‘WebPort’) == 443 ? ‘https’ : ‘http’,
‘://’,
RT->Config->Get(‘WebDomain’),
RT->Config->Get(‘WebPath’),
‘/Ticket/Display.html?id=’,
$ticket->Id;

 $requestor = $ticket->RequestorAddresses || 'unknown';
 $text = sprintf('Ticket #%d by %s has been created in %s | '.
                 '<%s|click to open>', $ticket->Id, $requestor,
                 $queue->Name, $url);

 RT::Extension::Slack::Notify(icon_emoji => 

‘:heavy_exclamation_mark:’,
text => $text);

 return 1;

}

Of course you can just turn the action module into a Scrip easily and
use it for any event.

I made this one a few weeks ago that does some linkification and
displays our own custom emoji.
