Slack sample

Using the Slack sample bundle

The Slack example bundle in samples/slack-post demonstrates the ability to list all channels into the console and sends a message to a channel which you have to configure to your channel ID.

Prerequisites

You also need:

a Slack Bot token

Note

If you don't have such a token yet, you can create your own app with token on this page.

In NodeCG, create a new slack service instance.
Enter your Slack app token:
```
{
    "token": "your-token-goes-here"
}
```
After entering it, click save.
Set the sample's (slack-post) dependency to be the newly created service instance (of type slack).
