A robust Slack messaging integration for Laravel

---

### About

[](#about)

While Slack Incoming Webhooks are powerful, direct API interaction is powerful-er - or something like that.

This package leverages Slack [bot tokens](https://api.slack.com/authentication/token-types#bot) to interact with the Slack API. This allows the integration to do things such as search channels and post messages - both plain and rich text - to any channel\* in a workspace.

*\* any public channel, or private channel that the Slack App bot is a member of*

Installation
============

[](#installation)

### Pre Requisites

[](#pre-requisites)

1. Laravel v8+
2. PHP 7.4+

### Install with Composer

[](#install-with-composer)

```
composer require nwilging/laravel-slack-bot

```

### Usage with `laravel/slack-notification-channel`

[](#usage-with-laravelslack-notification-channel)

If your app uses the default first-party Laravel package, [laravel/slack-notification-channel](https://github.com/laravel/slack-notification-channel), this package will conflict with the first-party one. This package is configured by default to use the channel `slack` in your `via()` method.

**If you wish to use this package *alongside* `laravel/slack-notification-channel`**, simply add the following to your `.env`:

```
SLACK_API_DRIVER_NAME=slackBot

```

You may replace `slackBot` with any driver name you'd like. The driver will be instantiated with that name and you can provide it to your `via()` method. This will allow you to use both this package and `laravel/slack-notification-channel` at the same time.

**Example:**

```
