@sourceminer See below for test tokens. You’ll probably want a permanent one eventually though.

@Wayne-Workman Sweet thanks for the response… I must have missed this, Was looking all over.

[sourceminer]

@Wayne-Workman So I have added the API Key, added the channel (with the Hash symbol right?) Im not seeing any updates.

[Wayne Workman]

@sourceminer Ask @Tom-Elliott about it, I think he’s the one that made the plugin.

[Tom Elliott]

@sourceminer I’m not seeing an issue with the slack plugin. The channel/user only get’s updated at specific points.

There’s not a lot of “events” that slack (and pushbullet for that matter) use to present the user with a message. Right now there’s only:

1. Login failures
2. Image completetion (up or down).
3. Snapin Completions (One for each snapin installed and completed, and a final one stating the tasking as a whole is complete.

@Tom-Elliott Thanks, so yes I have the API Key, and the channel I created in my Slack called #deployment. I have deployed and installed snap-ins but have not seen any updates to the channel.

@sourceminer If you look at the channel I’ll bet the messages are there.

The reason you don’t see it “updating” is because from slack’s perspective, the message is coming from you.

[sourceminer]

@Tom-Elliott Sorry but no messages in that channel. I just see this message: sourceminer [8:34 AM]
deployments Account linked to FOG GUI at: fog.domain.net

@sourceminer Hello, I never tested using a channel but using a private message works fine with test token.
