Slack Adapter Capabilities

Slack is a chat and messaging cloud service for the enterprise. The Slack Adapter is one of many predefined adapters included with Oracle Integration. You can configure the Slack Adapter as a connection, and then create an integration with Slack.

Slack is a collaboration hub that helps you and your team work together seamlessly. In Slack, team members send messages and share files in channels. You can create channels for teams, projects, office locations, or anything else that’s relevant to your organization. You can make channels private for those conversations that shouldn’t be open to all members, or you can use shared channels to collaborate with an organization outside your own.

The Slack Adapter provides the following capabilities:

• Offers outbound integration with Slack in Oracle Integration. You can create outbound integrations that invoke the Slack application so you can manage channels, invite users, get profile information, manage chat and groups, upload files, and perform search operations.
• Supports both outbound (invoke) and inbound (trigger) integrations in Oracle Integration. In outbound integrations, you can invoke the Slack application to manage channels, invite users, get profile information, manage chat and groups, upload files, and perform search operations. In the trigger role, the Slack Adapter listens to Slack events and initiates an integration flow when those events occur. Supported Slack trigger events include:
  • App Mention – when your application is mentioned in a Slack message.
  • Direct Message – when a user sends a direct message to your application.
  • Channel Message – when a message is posted in a channel accessible to your application.
