Slack Client for Node-RED

Installation

Just install this plugin to your Node Red installation by using npm: npm install node-red-contrib-loose in your Node Red root directory

Usage

Drag a Slack receive or send node onto the canvas and add your Slackbot credentials to the config node, then you're ready to go.

The slack-send node also allows choose a channel to send messages to in it's config, and you can override that by setting the channel property of the message.

The slack-listen node can share the same connection as the slack-send node, and listens to all the channels the bot is subscribed to, it always listens for direct messages. When it receives a message it sends it on with some extra info added:

{
    "payload": 'message',
    "slack": {
        "id": message.id,
        "type": message.type,
        "channel": slackChannel,
        "from": fromUser,
        "to": 'firstUserMentioned',
        "mentions": ['All', 'Users', 'mentioned']
    }
}

The message payload will contain the raw version of the message sent.
