slackdraft

Simplest way to send messages to Slack.

Installation

Like any other gem:

gem install slackdraft

Ruby Usage

Usage is very simple:

require 'slackdraft'
url = "https://slack/webhook/url"
slack = Slackdraft::Message.new(url)

# Url of the icon or emoji
# slack.icon_url    = "https://..."
slack.icon_emoji  = ":fire:"

# Set the bot username
slack.username    = "SlackDraft"

# Set the channel
slack.channel     = "#general"

# Set text
slack.text         = "Your message here! _*And can have* formatting_"

# Or you can pass text in as an array
# slack.text        = ["Your message here!", ">_*And can have* formatting_"]

# Send the message
slack.send!
  #-> true/false

For more examples, see the examples/ directory.

Command-line Usage

It's dumb simple. Instead of using curl, use this:

slackdraft -u mike \
    -c "#slackdraft" \
    -m "This is our *formammted message*" \
    https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxx
