LTSlack-SlashCommands

Please note that this is effectively a proof of concept for the LabTech REST API. Due to it's lack of support and documentation by LabTech, it may break at any time with any LT update. Only tested using LT11.

This script, when hosted on a PHP supported web server, will act as a bridge between the JSON requests of Slack and the JSON responses of the LabTech REST API.

Based on my similar script https://github.com/jundis/CWSlack-SlashCommands

Type /lt [computer name or computer ID] in chat and it will pull relevant information about the machine.

Type /lt client [client name] in chat and it will pull the specified client's address and phone/fax number

Type /lt [computer name] script [script name] and it will return a list of scripts that can be run along with their IDs

Type /lt [computer name] script [script ID] and it will execute that script 1 minute from the current time on the specified computer.
