Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1344:
-----------------------------------------
[~schuchm]: Another comment: I note that you are using a full URL in this
connector, including the protocol spec. However, handling of https requires
some care in a connector environment, because certificate handling needs to be
done per connection and not by means of the global java keystore. If Slack is
typically accessed by means of https this part of the implementation may need
to be thought through more.
Thanks!

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.6
>
>
> Since CONNECTORS-1119 ManifoldCF has the ability to send notifications on
> certain job statuses. Notification endpoints are realized by
> {{INotificationConnector}} implementors.
> It would be awesome to have a notification connector for Slack channel.
> Slack has a HTTP API (https://api.slack.com/web) and there are a lot of java
> examples showing how to pull this off: https://api.slack.com/community#java
> The simplest way for an integration are [Slack incoming
> webhooks|https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks]
> Sample Request
> {code}
> POST
> https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
> Content-type: application/json
> {
> "text": "This is a line of text.\nAnd this is another one."
> }
> {code}
> We plan to contribute this connector on November 24th 2016 in the context of
> a Open Source Hackathon at [DB Systel
> GmbH|http://www.dbsystel.de/dbsystel-en/start.html]
> See https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@manifoldcf.apache.org/msg11050.html
> *Design*
> - new connector module {{connectors/slack}} (similar to {{connectors/email}})
> - {{SlackConnector}} extending
> {{org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.notifications.BaseNotificationConnector}}
> - using Apache HTTP Client (is already a dependency in ManifoldCF) for HTTP
> Post
> - -gson- jackson for creating the json request entity
> - support markdown messages
