slack-cli

A .Net command line interface for sending slack messages via Slack Incoming Webhooks

Building

Just open slack.sln and build. The build combines all dependencies into the executable using Fody + Costura.

Configuration

First set up your incoming webhook for the app to use. Usually users will set the webhook url in slack.exe.config at appSettings/Slack:Webhook and that is enough to send messages using slack "Hello World!"

Usage

slack [options] "<message>"

    Options:
    -w, --webhook       Supply the url to post this message to. This can also be set in slack.exe.config at appSettings/Slack:Webhook
    -c, --channel       Supply the channel to post this message to. This can also be set in slack.exe.config at appSettings/Slack:Channel
    -u, --username      Supply the username to post this message as. This can also be set in slack.exe.config at appSettings/Slack:Username

    -i, --iconurl       Supply the icon url to post with this message. Overrides --iconemoji. This can also be set in slack.exe.config at appSettings/Slack:IconUrl
    -a, --attachments   Supply the path to a json formatted file that describes the message attachments. Use --help attachments for more information
    -h, --help          Show this help message or extended help for other command options

    <message>   The message to send.  You should enclose this string in quotes
