Glip Poster

glip-poster is a simple gem to make your integration with Glip (https://glip.com/) easier. It supports only incoming communications (from you to Glip).

Installation

Via Bundler

Add glip-poster to your Gemfile and then run bundle:

$ echo "gem 'glip-poster'" >> Gemfile
$ bundle

Via RubyGems

$ gem install glip-poster

Glip setup

This gem uses an incoming webhook integration on Glip. To create a new Glip webhook integration, in Glip.com, click on "Integrations" in the left column and then select the "Glip Webhooks" integration. After you select a conversation, a webhook URL will be presented which you will use with this gem to post messages to. The URL looks like the following:

https://hooks.glip.com/webhook/11112222-3333-4444-5555-666677778888

Usage

Initialize your poster and then call the send_message method to send your message. You must supply the webhook URL or webhook ID configured in the desired "Glip Webhooks" integration.

require 'glip_poster' # note underscore

poster = Glip::Poster.new(YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL) # or YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID (GUID)
poster.send_message('Hi there!') # Faraday::Response

You can send text in Markdown:

poster.send_message("* Location: [The Funky Buddha Lounge](http://www.thefunkybuddha.com)\n*Beer Advocate Rating: [99](http://tinyurl.com/psf4uzq)")

You can use an options array if you don't want to use the default settings.

options = {
  icon: 'http://example.com/icon.png',
  activity: 'Activity Alert',
  title: 'A New Incoming Message Has Been Received'
}
poster.send_message('Hi there!', options)

You can preset your options:

poster = Glip::Poster.new(YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL)
poster.options[:icon] = 'http://example.com/icon.png'
poster.options = {icon: 'http://example.com/icon.png'}
poster.send_message('Hi there!')
