Slackly

Slackly is a simple and easy way to send messages to your Slack channels using the incoming webhooks integration. You can use it directly in your code or through the command line.

gem install slackly

In your code:

s = Slackly.new(webhook_url)
s.message(text: 'Hello from Slackly')

Command line:

slackly message 'Hello from Slackly!'

In your code:

# these options will be the default client options and may be overriden by the message options
client_options = {
  username: 'slackly',
  icon_emoji: ':ghost:'
}
s = Slackly.new(webhook_url, client_options)

# these options will be sent for this message and will override any client options
message_options = {
  text: 'Hello from Slackly',
  channel: '#slackly'
}
s.message(message_options)

The command line needs a JSON configuration file in order to configure the webhook, it defaults to './slackly.json' but you can override it with the -c option. The JSON configuration file must must have a webhook_url option in order for the command line to work:

slackly message 'Hello from Slackly!' -c path_to/config.json

Both the code version and JSON configuration file accept any configuration option provided by Slack as described in here.
