Send webhook to slack via JMWE

[Tarieli Gvritishvili]

Hello,

I want to send a slack message with webhook from JMWE app like it is in Jira native automation on a certain trigger.

How is it possible to post the webhook.

Hi @Tarieli Gvritishvili Good day!

In this case, you can use a Build-your-own (JMWE app) post-function, and use the callRest filter: https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465242995/callRest 

Please find below example.

{% set payload = {
"channel": "#test-001",
"username": "webhookbot",
"text": "This is posted for #test-001 and comes from a bot named webhookbot.",
"icon_emoji": ":ghost:"
} %}

{% set webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T013H6GS22J/XXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXoBJutA185uAWF" %}

{{ webhook_url | callRest(verb="post", body=payload) | dump(2) }}

I hope this helps! 

BTW, I'm from Appfire, the vendor of JMWE app. 

Thanks,
Avinash

Works great, thanks a lot.

Is it possible to call issue fields into the body of the text? This is working well except that it is showing "... for {{issue.fields.customfield_10100}} was transitioned..." in the body of the slack message instead of the value of that field. 

[David Fischer]

It is, but not using {{}} since you're building a string, not the output. So you would do:

"text":"for "+issue.fields.customfield_10100+" was transitioned"

@Avinash Bhagawati _Appfire_  hello

Very good!

Thanks for the help. I managed to make it work here for me.

For anyone who wants to use the model I used, just use the one below:

{% set payload = {
"channel": "#name-channel", 
"text": "🚨 The card *{{issue.key}} - {{issue.summary}}* has just been created! \n\n- *Status*: {{issue.status.name}} \n- *Card Link*: <https://zenvia.atlassian.net/browse/{{issue.key}}> \n- *Issue Type*: {{issue.issueType.name}} \n- *Priority*: {{issue.priority.name}} \n\nPlease review and take action as soon as possible. :white_check_mark:"
} %}

{% set webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/HERE" %}

{{ webhook_url | callRest(verb="post", body=payload) }}

It worked like a charm!! 🤩🤩

Wanted to contribute because this article helped a lot. Our org uses a lot of Slack reports that go out to the teams. Important to note that I'm using Scheduled Actions and setting my target issue to a singular issue because JMWE will send per each issue within the JQL. 

So here are two different cases that we were able to whip up. I hope this helps anyone being forced to switch to cloud.
