FAQ

How can I customise the notification?

By changing any of the parameters below, you can send any type of text notification you would like, to any workspace and channel of choice;

fonk_send_to_slack($message, $channel, $username, $icon_emoji, $url_webhook);

(e.g. fonk_send_to_slack("notification text", "channel", "WP Bot", ":zap:");)

Can I send notifications to different channels and/or workspaces?

Yes – see steps to customise in the answer above.

Are there any requirements?

Yes – you will obviously need a Slack workspace.. more importantly, you will need to configure a unique Slack webhook (URL) for your workspace to which notificiations are sent. Find out more in Slack’s documentation.
