We're a tech org, the ability to get data in/out of Slack with ease, using any scripting language, makes it awesome.
- fs111 10y agoWhat is all that data that you put into a 3rd party chat system? Serious question.
- iDemonix 10y agoWe're aware that data is being piped in to a 3rd party system, so obviously some things don't go in to Slack. An example of usage could be, we have a StatusPage.io site. Rather than subscribe everyone to email updates or similar that works here, and maintain that list, we simply have a plugin that pipes the updates in to Slack. That way if someone raises a status page update for a web server being down, everyone is aware that this is now public information on StatusPage. This is just one of a lot of examples, but things like that once embedded become the norm quickly and you wonder what it was like before them.
