Slack Messaging

About

This connector can be used to integrate DataMiner with a Slack workspace. It will communicate with Slack and ensure that the configured list of actions is executed. In order to keep this connector as general as possible, these actions are defined in automation scripts.

When commands are sent into a Slack channel, these will be picked up by the element running this connector. When the element detects a known command, it will execute the automation script linked to that command.

Tip
