Need help to get DZVents posting to Slack working.

Posted: Thursday 04 June 2020 0:21

Hi guys,

I'm really breaking my head why the following script does not work. This is to post a message to Slack using the Bot-API.

I have a similar script working with the webhook API, but that only works on a single channel, whereas I would like to post to different channels. Therefore I would like to get this working.

The problem is also that I do not get proper error logging as well (even with the level set to Debug in settings), the log-line after the "if (item.isHTTPResponse) then" does not seem to get hit?

However If I move that part to separate script, I can catch the HTTPResponse, which shows that Slack says ""invalid_form_data".
If I change the header info to say that the content-type is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" I get an error "not_authed"

Can anybody see what is wrong in this script?

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices = {'TestContact' }
        },
	    httpResponses = {
			'slackrequest'
	},
	logging = {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "Slack-script"
    },
	execute = function(domoticz, item)
	    
	    local function SendSlackMessage (message)
            local token = 'xoxb-my-bot-token'
            local channel = 'sensors'
			domoticz.openURL({
				url = 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage',
				method = 'POST',
				headers = { ['content-Type'] = 'application/json' },				
				postData = { ['text'] = message , ['token'] = token, ['channel'] = channel },
				callback = 'slackrequest',
			})
        end
    
	if (item.isDevice) then
           local results = SendSlackMessage ('This is a test message')
	end
	if (item.isHTTPResponse) then
            domoticz.log('OK we got a response',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)		    
	      if (item.ok) then
                  domoticz.log('Ok result. Slack response is: Ok',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
	      else
		domoticz.log('Slack response is: Not OK', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
	     end
	end

end
}

You have some misplaced brackets in your script, causing httpResponses not being evaluated in the on is section.
Corrected script:

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'TestContact'
        },

        httpResponses =
        {
            'slackrequest',
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "Slack-script"
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)

        local function SendSlackMessage (message)
            local token = 'xoxb-my-bot-token'
            local channel = 'sensors'
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage',
                method = 'POST',
                headers = { ['content-Type'] = 'application/json' },
                postData = { ['text'] = message , ['token'] = token, ['channel'] = channel },
                callback = 'slackrequest',
            })
        end

    if (item.isDevice) then
           local results = SendSlackMessage ('This is a test message')
    end
    if (item.isHTTPResponse) then
         domoticz.log('OK we got a response',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log(item,domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
          if (item.ok) then
                  domoticz.log('Ok result. Slack response is: Ok',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
          else
        domoticz.log('Slack response is: Not OK', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
         end
    end

end
}

Thank you!
This helped my to do the debugging. I kept getting the "not_authed" reply, and finally found out in the documentation that you should put the token in the header when using a JSON body.

So for others who want to use this, this is a working script.

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'TestContact'
        },

        httpResponses =
        {
            'slackrequest',
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "Slack-script"
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)

        local function SendSlackMessage (message)
            local token = 'xoxb-put_your_token_here'
            local channel = 'sensors'
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage',
                method = 'POST',
                headers = { ['content-Type'] = 'application/json', ['Authorization'] = 'Bearer '..token  },
                postData = { ['text'] = message , ['channel'] = channel, ['as_user'] = 'false' , ['username'] = 'DzVents' },
                callback = 'slackrequest',
            })
        end

    if (item.isDevice) then
           local results = SendSlackMessage ('This is a test message: long live DzVents!')
    end
    if (item.isHTTPResponse) then
         domoticz.log('OK we got a response',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log(item,domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
          if (item.ok) then
            domoticz.log('Ok result. Slack response is: Ok',domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
          else
            domoticz.log('Slack response is: Not OK', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
         end
    end

end
