Serverless-slack-plugin NPM

Serverless Slack Plugin

A Slack Bot plugin for the Serverless Framework which will post updates to a channel on completion of deployments or removals of functions and/or endpoints.

Installation

Make sure you have the Serverless Framework installed and you're using Node.js v4.0+.

Install the plugin in the root of your Serverless Project:

npm install serverless-slack-plugin --save-dev

Add the plugin to the plugins array in your Serverless Project's s-project.json, like this:

plugins: [
    "serverless-slack-plugin"
]

Configuration

First you will need to configure a "bot user" in your Slack team for the integration, instructions on how to do that can be found in the Slack documentation.

Hint: Don't forget to invite your bot user into the channel you want it to post into!

Once you have generated a token for your bot user and the name of the channel, in the custom property of either your s-project.json or s-function.json add the following:

{
    ...
    "custom": {
      "slack": {
        "token": "<YOUR SLACK CHAT BOT TOKEN>",
        "channel": "<THE CHANNEL YOU WANT TO POST TO>",
        "endpoints": true, // All endpoint deployments and removals will result in a message
        "functions": {
          "deployed": true, // Function deployments will result in a message
          "removed": true // Function removals will result in a message
        }
      }
    }
    ...
}

Note: For both endpoints and functions you can either enable/disable deployments and removals discretely or globally as above
