We use Service Now and Slack at my company. Is it possible to create slack commands to pull the basic information from a Service Now ticket into a slack channel? Example: If I created /getTicket and it would then go out to the Service Now ticket and pull into the channel the ticket title, description, priority color, created date, etc etc.

[@yogitagupta4674]

Hi, thanks for the video. I've created a slack app that posts open SNOW tickets, i want to add the functionality which shows the live status of the ticket . Like when the message is posted, the ticket is in "open" state and when someone resolves it later , i want it to get updated to "Resolved". I saw this feature in PagerDuty slack app. Please help

How can I send file/attachments with messages?

[@javitv454]

Hey, any way to also send images ? I saw ways to send urls but can I directly send a file ?

[@tech_with_moss]

Hi Javier! Yes, it is possible to send files via the API. Here is some documentation for uploading a file: api.slack.com/methods/files.upload/code

[@vinnythep00h]

Thanks for this!

[@rampalchauhan5551]

Good Video and thanks - but the code could have been to the point. adding argument passing from command line made the otherwise simple code complex

How to fetch status of an user from slack sdk?? Can anyone tell

[@kiavashvani6310]

Make a video showing how to delete a particular message sent with the API

[@AndyD89]

Great video! Could you show us how to do this with Google Chat instead? That would be amazing!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll consider doing this for a future video. I'd have to research the Google Chat API.

[@rupenanjaria]

I believe that Webhooks are outdated and Slack can discontinue it anytime. Any video on consuming Slack's REST API?

Hi, how can I recover the past messages at slack?

[@tech_with_moss]

Hello! I apologize I'm not entirely sure how to do this. I believe it depends on the plan that you have with slack though.

Hi can I my account do the auto reply instead of bot?

[@tech_with_moss]

Hello! Apparently it is possible to "impersonate" a user: api.slack.com/messaging/sending#impersonation See the "sending message as other entities" section

[@usmanmaqbool7758]

hello ! can we post file with same script ?

[@tech_with_moss]

Hi Usman! You could use most of the same script but with some modifications. Specifically, you'll want to utilize the following Slack API endpoint to upload a file (Documentation here): api.slack.com/methods/files.upload

[@maxrobotics3703]

hello, i am getting invalid payload in pycharm when i run it. plz help

[@tech_with_moss]

Hello! Be sure to check that you're entering an argument at the command line and that the argument provided with the "-m" option is given in quotes. After grabbing the argument from the command line, you may want to print it out just to validate that you've saved it to a variable correctly. Also, if you use the "Play" button in pycharm to run the script, it won't run it with any options or arguments, so you would get a null value for your argument. Not sure if you're running it via the terminal or via the play button but I would also check that. If you confirm that you've done this and it's still not working, you could share your code here and the command you're using to run it and I can take a look!

hello, how to get slack messages using python? like a chatbot.

[@tech_with_moss]

Hi! I believe what you're looking for is this: api.slack.com/authentication/basics This documentation outlines how to create an app that will respond to users who invoke the bot-user commands. The legacy version of this documentation was here api.slack.com/bot-users, which discusses the process of creating a "bot-user" which is now replaced by the first link that I shared

[@DakshGargas]

Thanks! :D

Although I don't have the python code, I believe the formatting you're looking for is documented on this page! api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#mentioning-users

[@mcring543]

Send in a blank message. I would show help on a blank message and exit. But that's just me.

[@tech_with_moss]

I agree, I definitely think that would be a good improvement to the program. No use in sending a blank message.
