Fonk – Slack Notifications for Devs

This plugin adds an easily customisable function to your theme, with which you can fire Slack Notifications to any workspace and channel of choice. Currently, no pre-defined triggers exist, so it is up to you (or your developer) to add the function in to whichever part of your theme/processes you would like.

1. Upload fonk-slack-notification to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Configure your default settings under Settings > Slack Notifications
4. Place the fonk_send_to_slack('custom message'); function anywhere in your templates or functions

1. 

   Customisable notification in Slack

2. 

   Configure your settings from Admin backend

How can I customise the notification?

By changing any of the parameters below, you can send any type of text notification you would like, to any workspace and channel of choice;

fonk_send_to_slack($message, $channel, $username, $icon_emoji, $url_webhook);

(e.g. fonk_send_to_slack("notification text", "channel", "WP Bot", ":zap:");)

Can I send notifications to different channels and/or workspaces?

Yes – see steps to customise in the answer above.

Are there any requirements?

Yes – you will obviously need a Slack workspace.. more importantly, you will need to configure a unique Slack webhook (URL) for your workspace to which notificiations are sent. Find out more in Slack’s documentation.
