Configuring Orchestrator webhook to Slack

[miket5 (Michael Tunstall)]

Hi, I have setup a webhook to link to a Slack channel, but nothing is coming through.
I added the Slack webhook and the generated secret, but nothing is received in the Slack channel.

I am assuming that this is for outbound communications or is it just for inbound?

Hi @miket5

What exactly is it that you are trying to do?

Using UiPath CE, Using Slack, already have webhook setup for the Slack channel, and have configured a robot to send data to the channel using the webhook in a HTTP Post, It would be very useful if we can send data to a Slack channel when Queues are updated.

I see. The answer is - not yet. But see here for some incoming new features:

Automatically run bots on new queue item

Will be implemented soon (19.6) with these high level specs: A queue will have associated no more than one “ consumer” process At the Consumer Process level we may enable “activation”. Once the activation is enabled we set the following properties: **trigger on new queue item **max number of simultaneous jobs - default 1 **min number of queue items to trigger a job (don’t count deferred ones) - default 1 **ramp-up - default 1 - start 1 bot per x queue items **Non Working Days Calendar…

Hello Michael,
You can trigger UiPath Robot from Slack like this:

Slack trigger UiPath Robots | Chatbot | UiPath | Slackbot | Orchestrator API | NodeJS | JavaScript
