SlackMessage is a gem that makes it easy to send messages to Slack from your application. Really easy.

SlackMessage.post_to('#general') do
  text "We did it @here! :thumbsup:"
end

And not just simple messages. You can compose complicated messages quickly in a DSL that’s focused on usability and maintainability. It can be tough to maintain code in other similar gems, but not here.

SlackMessage.post_to('hello@joemastey.com') do
  section do
    text "A job has generated some output for you to review."
    text 'And More' * 10
    link_button "See Results", "https://google.com"
  end

  section do
    text ":unlock-new: New Data Summary"

    list_item "Date", "09/05/2021"
    list_item "Total Imported", 45_004
    list_item "Total Errors", 5
  end

  divider

  section do
    text "See more here: #{link('result', 'https://google.com')}"
  end

  context "Kicked off by <hello@joemastey.com> at **9:05am**"
end

It has no dependencies and minimal configuration needs, so you can get up and running quickly.
