Camel Slack Component

The slack component allows you to connect to an instance of Slack and delivers a message contained in the message body via a pre established Slack incoming webhook.

URI format

To send a message to a channel.

slack:#channel[?options]

To send a direct message to a slackuser.

slack:@username[?options]

The Slack component only supports producer endpoints so you cannot use this component at the beginning of a route to listen to messages in a channel.

Options

These options will

Option	Example	Description

`iconEmoji`	`iconEmoji=:camel:`	Use a Slack emoji as an avatar

SlackComponent

The SlackComponent must be configured as a Spring or Blueprint bean that contains the incoming webhook url for the integration as a parameter.

<bean id="slack" class="org.apache.camel.component.SlackComponent">
    <property name="webhookUrl" value="https://hooks.slack.com/services/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"/>
</bean>
