FFAStrans forum

Hello Guys,

I'm looking for a better solution to get slack notifications from FFastrans.
Actually I user the email processor to send emails to Zapier and Zapier posts to a slack channel.
But i just saw that you can do webhooks in slack, so my questions:
Anyone already figuered out if the HTTP Communicate Processor can be used for slack integration?

Best mdh

Hey forum,

I was succesful, let me share it with you.
I made a simple SlackBot posting finished encodings to a slack channel. It's dead simple.

You just have to get a slack incoming Webhook URL this goes into the "URL Field".
Right to this you switch action to POST
In the headers Field bellow you change the Value FIeld next to "Content-Type" to json

And in the main Field you put Something in like

{
"text": "%s_original_name%"
}

that's all

Hi mdh, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum!

Glad you found out and shared
