Laravel Slack Alerts Package

 Laravel Slack Alerts Package

Laravel Slack Alerts is a package by Spatie to send a message to slack quickly. While you can set up Slack notifications in Laravel's robust notification system, sometimes all you need is a simple way to trigger a message in various slack channels:

1use Spatie\SlackAlerts\Facades\SlackAlert;
2 
3SlackAlert::message("{$user->name} just signed up for your Super Awesome SaaS! :party-parrot:");

The above message is sent via a (configurable) job, and you can also configure multiple slack webhook URLs to which you can send messages:

 1// config
 2return [
 3    'webhook_urls' => [
 4        'default' => 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXX',
 5        'marketing' => 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/YYYYYY',
 6    ],
 7];
 8 
 9SlackAlert::to('marketing')
10    ->message("{$user->name} just requested a SaaS demo!");

Messages can also contain markdown and Slack emojis.
