Slack Receive

Summary

This module allows Drupal to receive and execute commands sent from Slack via their Outgoing Webhooks integration. Developers can use this module as a launching point for things like executing Drush commands and printing the output into a Slack channel, or for creating their own Drupal-powered SlackBots.

Slack will send POST data to a menu callback in Drupal which this module enables at /slack_receive. If the post contains the correct Slack Token, Slack Receive will then execute any functions that are implemented via hook_slack_receive_api. Developers should take a few minutes and become familiar with the Slack API docs here.

Note: this module is a an API module and doesn't do anything on its own. Please enable the included slack_receive_example module to see working examples of functionality that are possible via Slack Receive.
