This extension adds Slack notifications when new discussions are posted to your Helpy and adds a configuration panel in your Settings area. You must have Helpy 0.9.2 or newer for the admin settings integration to work correctly.
Add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'helpy_slack', github: 'helpyio/helpy_slack', branch: 'master'`
and then run:
bundle install
This gem gives you a couple options and all configuration happens inside of the Helpy admin through a new settings panel. You will have to configure your Slack room to support inbound webhooks and then use the URL provided inside Helpy. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Log into your Slack room.. You probably already are logged in, but make sure you have owner priviledges.
-
In the upper left, click on your room name, and choose "Apps & Integrations"
-
In the upper right, chooe "Build", and then "Something just for my team"
-
On the build a custom integration page, choose "Incoming Webhooks"
-
Select the Channel, although you can always change this later, and click "Add Incoming Webhooks Integration"
-
Grab the Webhook URL shown and add that into your Helpy > Admin > Settings > Slack Configuration
-
Done! You should immediately begin receiving notifications in your Slack room when a new private or public discussion is added on your Helpy.
