This module has a two functions: send messages from your Mendix app to Slack channels and respond to commands sent from Slack to your app.
This allows your app to post messages in Slack channels, for example that it started or is going to shut down. And in the opposite direction you can use Slack to send commands to your app, for example to get a status update or to start a process.
Its features are
- Incoming Webhook URLs and other sensitive data are stored encrypted
- create messages with markdown markup or just plain text
- send messages to multiple channels in multiple workspaces
- optionally send messages in the background not delaying your primary process
- no Java libraries that require maintenance, just native Mendix
- Dutch and English languages are supported in the UI
