Slacked

A simple and easy way to send notifications to Slack from your Rails application. A use case for this would be to post a notification in Slack when a new User is created or a certain action has been taken in your application.

Getting Started

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slacked'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Then run the installer:

$ bundle exec rails g slacked:install

This will create a .env file in the root of the rails appication. Specify the Webhook Url and the message to be sent.

SLACK_WEBHOOK= "WEBHOOK_URL"
SLACK_MESSAGE= "TEST"

Usage

To send the message to slack use the method:

Slacked.post

Example

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create :slacked

  private

  def slacked
    Slacked.post
  end
end
