Get User Leads data into Slack

We are going to build a bot that sends you messages in the Slack Channel. Slack is a cool future no-email place.

I am using slack to

Monitor client’s orders on my website.
Receive website visitors’ messages from Crisp in Slack.

Other use cases can be

Receive website downtime notifications
Receive meeting reminders
View your todo task lists and update them
Collect customer story and store it in Google Sheet. (as claimed by Slack)

But we are going to create a slack hook that sends messages to your slack channel. Let’s go !! 🔥

Step 1 : Create your Slack Bot API

Go to slack website api creator — click here
Click on Create New App
A popup appears. Here write your App Name and select your Development Work Space
Click Create App

Step 2 : Select Bots button

We are going to update the bottom 2 x boxes — Bots & Permissions
First Click on Bots box and it will take you to App Home page

Step 3 : Click on `Review Scopes to Add`

Step 4: Add Bot Scopes

It will open OAuth & Permissions page
Click on Add an OAuth Scope under Scopes section and add following Scopes
channels:read, chat:write, groups:read, groups:write

Click here to Sign in to your NoCodeAPI account.
Go to market place and search for uptime robot. Then click Activate.
Click on Make Uptime Robot API
Sidebar appears. Now write your name and main api key you found in Step 1.

Step 5: Now Click on Install to Workspace at the top of your page

Step 6 : It will show you a pop up, Click Allow.

Update the ENDPOINT variable with the one you formatted in above step (Step 5).
Give your choice of title, your website link, your twitter handle and your twitter link.
Click on Update Changes button at the bottom.

Step 7 : Copy your Bot User OAuth Access Token and save it for Step 9

Step 8 : Invite bot to your slack channel

Go to your Slack Channel where you want to receive notifications and write /invite @your_bot_name
You will see a response message was added to #channel by your_name like the one below

Step 9 : Make your endpoint on NoCodeAPI

Sign in to nocodeapi.com
Go to Marketplace and click on Slack Hooks API
Click on Make Slack Hooks API
On the side bar that just appeared > write your custom bot name > paste the access token you got in Step 7 > click on refresh list and > select your channel in slack

Step 10 : Send a message to your channel using playground

Open the playground written just above your generated endpoint in nocodeapi
Try sending a text message or object message to your slack channel using inbuilt Swagger playground. Like the one below 👇

You should receive your message in your Slack channel like below

Bonus Step 11 : Make your nodejs app

const axios = require("axios")

const data = {    name: "Mohd Danish",    email: "[email protected]",    message: "I love this telegram hook API",    other: "other value.",}
axios({
    method: "post",
    url: "<api_endpoint>",    data: data,
})
    .then(function (response) {
        // handle success
        console.log(response)
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
        // handle error
        console.log(error)
    })

This is it !

Now you can add custom domain to your deployed status website. We hope you learnt a ton through this tutorial. Give us a pat on back — by writing a share post on twitter. Or contact us , if you have another interesting use case in mind.

Happy Coding ✌️
