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:

use Spatie\SlackAlerts\Facades\SlackAlert;
 
SlackAlert::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:

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

Messages can also contain markdown and Slack emojis.

If you'd like to learn more about the background behind this package, read A package to send Slack alerts in a Laravel app quickly by Freek Van der Herten.
