Easily Snap RebelMouse Into Slack
RebelMouse offers a Slack integration that allows you to sync your editorial process with Slack's notifications. We can set up three events that trigger notifications:
- Changed stages in the editorial process
- Edited a post
- Published a post
Here's an example of how this looks:
We help you configure these events in our back end by using a Slack Webhook. The Webhook allows us to set up the template, what each notification says, and what channels to push to. Click here for more information on how to configure Webhooks, and review the following tutorial we've put together.
First, create a Slack app and enable Webhooks:
Next, create the Webhook:
Then, copy your new Webhook URL, and send it to support@rebelmouse.com:
A member of our support team will create a JSON file that we will then input on our back end, which will look something like this:
"post_edit":{
"channel":"https:\/\/hooks.slack.com\/services\/TL96RCFG8\/BLA75H4N9\/nBeiBlRpB0kQiXXXXXVSqRAk",
"template":"{emitter_site_title} edited a post."
},
"workflow_stage_updated":{
"channel":"https:\/\/hooks.slack.com\/services\/TL96RCFG8\/BLA75H4N9\/nBeiBlRpB0kQiXXXXXVSqRAk",
"template":"Post set to '{stage_title}' stage."
},
"post_publish":{
"channel":"https:\/\/hooks.slack.com\/services\/TL96RCFG8\/BLA75H4N9\/nBeiBlRpB0kQiXXXXXVSqRAk",
"template":"{emitter_site_title} published a new post!"
}
}
Here's how it will look on your Slack channel during testing:
If this is something you're interested in implementing, email support@rebelmouse.com and let us know. We'll help you get it set up.
Happy Slacking!
