feature(slack): Add option to specify channel name

Open dineshdb opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Slack supports specifying channel in the message body so that the same webhook can send messages in different channels. It would be useful to have this feature.

@dineshdb Can you provide more details (e.g. the API documentation)?

This is part of legacy integrations feature but is being used widely because of ease of use.

Being able to select a channel via the Legacy API is depreciated. This is posted at the top of that page: You're reading this because you're looking for info on legacy custom integrations - an outdated way for teams to integrate with Slack. These integrations lack newer features and they will be deprecated and possibly removed in the future. We do not recommend their use.

Slack wants you to create unique webhook URLs for each channel that you want to use.

Legacy api would be the Python2 for slack. I too suggest that this simple api be supported.
