Slack Action Button Integration

Hi guys,

I just noticed that slack added some nice features to it's API and integration options with message buttons.
For example, this is the Trello integration: http://blog.trello.com/trello-app-for-slack/

This might be something for your roadmap as there could be many useful features:

  • Start a process from Slack
  • Approve / Disapprove / Review action from Slack
  • Assign to different user from Slack
  • Update a workflow variable from Slack
  • One might even think about using Slack as an external form (though this is very far stretched)

There is a fairly good documentation about how it works here: https://api.slack.com/docs/message-buttons

Cheers,

Eric

      Hi,

      That sounds like a great idea! Not sure if you know but there are a couple of articles on developing plugins to Slack at How to develop a Slack Webhook Tool and How to develop a Slack Notification plugin.

      The source code is provided there too, so hopefully someone can extend these plugins to add the action button integration.
