Posting to Slack - and more - from Qlik Sense load scripts (part 3)

Quick update to the previous post on this topic.

There is a new version of slack_proxy available on GitHub. It adds a new endpoint for creating directories on the server where slack_proxy is running.

This obviously means that the apps name – “slack_proxy” – is not really that relevant or correct any longer… And with more end points considered, the name will become even less correct…. Oh well – I’ll keep the name for now – maybe it will change sometime up ahead.

The endpoints currently supported are:

  • /slack for posting to Slack
  • /createDir for creating directories on local disk

Other endpoints on the radar are for sending tweets, sending messages to Pushover, and controlling Blink(1) USB lights.

There is also now reasonably complete documentation on GitHub.
