Hi
I am trying to send the assigned tickets in the queue as .csv file to the slack channel. I am able to download the .csv file in the dev desktop through bash script but unable to send that file to the Slack Channel.

Anyone have tried this before?

I have checked this

https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload

I have only Webhook URL no other token is there with me as per the suggestion in the above link.

You must have a token or some kind of authentication, otherwise anyone would be spam slack with files.

Also the function you are looking at is not a webhook. Webhooks are triggered by an event. And they cause a http request to be sent.

I accept with your point the csv file which i download is authenticated with the kerberos only.So is that enough and send the .csv file to the slack channel through the webhook ?

@stacksofplates maybe you can offer some insight?

At the bottom of the upload API page they give you an example of what you need. You need your API token and the channel ID(s) that you want to send the data to.

curl -F [email protected] -F "initial_comment=Shakes the cat" -F channels=C024BE91L,D032AC32T -H "Authorization: Bearer xoxa-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx" https://slack.com/api/files.upload

devops-me2.slack.com

Also another reason i decided to do this, notice how much developers have support inside company... like they have 40 others DEVs, but its not the same with system admins and devops

Slackbot-LinkExpanding

When someone pastes a link in Slack it attempts to reach out to the site linked to A. verify that it's a valid link and B. tries to create a small screenshot with a blurb about the page in question.

I.E.

Awesome, thanks!

I'm doing video conferencing stuff this week, too!

What are you deploying? I am leaning toward the higher end logitech stuff to integrate with SFB/Teams and Slack. If I do that, I will most likely pull the trigger on the Barco CSE-200+ for wireless presentation- something we haven't had before. We have just had a direct HDMI cable to a large monitor.

Cheap Logitech right now to get started. We are talking to Yealink to find out about their high end stuff. But likely we are going to go with just Logitech gear and maybe soft phones or something like that.

Slack is up finally

Not on Slack but there are several great one using https://gitter.im, most communities are for developers but I think you might like more than one using this tag:

Devops - https://gitter.im/explore/tags/curated:devops,devops

Ansible - https://gitter.im/ansible/ansible?source=explore Docker - https://gitter.im/docker/docker?source=explore

Seems a bit like an IRC channel.

IRC is all but dead, has been going that way for a long time. Just a lot of old timers hanging on to it.

This seems a lot like old timers hanging onto it, though 🙂

It is a huge community, but my personal experience show that less people are coming in than leaving because of tools like slack.

I think we'll be looking for a screen sharing, video calling & IM app/package in the next year. It will be interesting to see how slack and rocket.chat go.

@JaredBusch said in Franz messaging app:

Someone mentioned this app here a while back and I tried it out.

Did not really like it. I should give it another try.

I think it was @John-Nicholson in telegram. I tried it also and wasnt a big fan.

While a good idea, they should...

Stop blocking the existing functionality for this, because it is there, they just disabled it. Make Skype actually work first.

For those who were still having problems getting Mattermost running on CentOS 7, I was also having the same problems and couldn't get beyond the postgres install. I found another guide and with a few tweaks, I was able to get this running.

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-mattermost-with-postgresql-and-nginx-on-centos7/

The change that was required from this guide was in the "Download and Extract Mattermost"

Instead of...
[root@mattermost ~]# wget -q "https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/download/v2.0.0/mattermost.tar.gz" -O mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
wget https://releases.mattermost.com/3.3.0/mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Then in the next block, instead of...
tar -xvzf mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
tar -xvzf mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

After that, follow the guide to the letter and it will get you to this...

We use Zoho Cliq's guest chat for that.

Hmmmm.... https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/zoho-cliq/cliq-user-guide/cliq-chats/group-chat/articles/

I can't get that link to work...

If you wanted to know more about guest chat, go here:
https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/zoho-cliq/cliq-user-guide/cliq-chats/cliq-chat/articles/what-is-a-guest-chat

Zoho Cliq is slightly confusing though because external users and guest users are completely different things.

External users are Zoho Cliq users belonging to another organization. So external to your organization. Anyone can sign up though. So if you invite an external user that doesn't have Zoho Cliq, he will receive an invitation to sign up.

Guest users are non-Zoho Cliq users (that haven't signed up for a Zoho account). If you invite a guest users, they will not receive an invitation to sign up, they will receive a login link so they can chat with you.

Yeah, we use those features. It's nice.
