Post a Message to Slack

This post function/listener allows you to send a personalized custom message to your Slack room.  When configuring a post function there are bindings for the issue object. When configuring a listener there are bindings for the issue object and event object.

For example, you want to be notified in a Slack channel when an issue is moved to Done and what the resolution is set to.

 
"Issue $issue resolved with resolution <% out << issue.resolution?.name %>. by <% out << event.getUser() %>"

1. Select the Post a Message to Slack post function/listener.

3. If you're configuring a listener, select an event from the drop-down list.

4. Enter your bearer token to retrieve a list of target rooms (channels) you can post to.

   For details on how to create Slack apps and tokens, see Create Slack App.

String templating in groovy

There are two variables available for you to use in your template, "issue" and "event". This last one is only available if you configure this feature as a listener.

Check the documentation about constructing your string template for the last field of the form:

As a summary, in order to call a property, you can call it with the name

 
"Your issue $issue has been updated."

But you can do more complex calls to your object by using the <% %> notation:

 
"Your Issue $issue was updated by <% out << event.getUser() %> on <% out << event.getTime() %>."
