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.
