Hi all,
I use Scriptrunner SlackUtil class to send messages to Slack when an issue is transitioned to a certain status.
I wanted to reuse the same groovy script for all projects, so I stored the destination channel name as a project property, because each project has its own team & dedicated Slack channel.
The problem is that sometimes the project admin writes a wrong channel name, so I'd like to do an up-front validation of the connection before actually sending the message.
For now, as an alternative (and ugly) solution, I changed the script to be executed in the Validation of the transition, instead of the Post Function. I put the SlackUtil.message code within a try catch and return an invalid input exception if it fails.
What I'd like to have instead, is:
- one script in Validation that check that the connection can be "established"
- another script in Post Functions that actually sends the message
Is this possible?
Best regards
