I am using your exact code, just with the url and the channel changed.

Getting these errors

There was an error during the execution of your script

Hello Sergio,

Bellow is an example of a script that makes use of the HttpBuilder and posts a message to Slack.

import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.Method

def http = new HTTPBuilder("https://hooks.slack.com")
http.request(Method.POST, ContentType.TEXT) {
uri.path = "/services/XXXX/YYYYY/ZZZZZ" // <1>
    body = new JsonBuilder([
channel   : "#dev",
username  : "webhookbot",
text      : "Hello World !",
icon_emoji: ":ghost:",
mrkdwn    : true,
    ]).toString()
}

Hope that helps.

Regards, Thanos
