tms-customer-portal-monitor

This service monitors customer portal events and errors using RabbitMQ and sends notifications by posting to slack channels using Slack's API.

Post to Slack using webhooks and Slack API

Go to Slack's API Website.

Follow the instructions to create a slack app and navigate to your app's page. Under Features, go to OAuth & Permissions. Set your app's permission scope to chat:write:bot. You can now post to any slack channel using your generated OAuth access token.

HTTP Requests to post to slack channels are made using the POST method and three arguments are required:

• URL: https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage
• payload: object containing fields channel and text
• config: object containing a headers field with the OAuth token
