Set up Slack notifications using the discourse-chat-integration plugin

[yaaang]

Thanks for the guide!

Like an earlier poster, I’m hitting these errors:

/discourse failed with the error "dispatch_failed"

What might I be missing? I double checked the information that I’ve pasted screenshots of below.

Are there debug logs available for this? I checked Error Logs in Admin, and also sudo ./launcher logs app.

Please let me know what additional info I can provide to help debug this. Thank you!

@stanislaw after you first asked and David responded, I implemented threaded replies, with David’s advice.

Optionally threading posts to parent topic in slack integration

At work, we use slack a lot. There’s some content that needs to be accessible on slack but should be organized and searchable, both of which I’ve seen Discourse shine at. We’ve tried a few wiki-like options and they all go stale, in part from lack of connection to slack. So I’m driving an evaluation of Discourse to run in parallel to and connected to our existing slack, since I already run a community Discourse forum. However, we have a lot of channels which use threads aggressiv…

That topic shows how to configure it.

@Brad_Wood your suggestions and question sound interesting, so I don’t want them to get lost.

Would you mind moving the first 2 as a new topic in #feature and tag it #chat-integration, then moving your question to #support a d tag it #chat-integration too?

This would make it easier to follow/track and not get lost here.

I would have moved the post to a new topic for you, but seeing as you have feature requests and a question in the single post, I’d have to edit and create something new to move it, and I don’t want to do that.

@osioke I have created two new topics as you requested, however it appears I don’t have permissions to add tags.

Slack Discourse integration category subscription feature

Can’t subscribe to messages in a sub category by subscribing to the parent This may be by-design, but it wasn’t obvious at first. I have parent categories with child categories under them. I expected that if I created a rule that filtered “All posts and replies” to the parent category that it would implicitly include each of the children categories as well. This did not seem to work however, and I needed to create rules for each of my (many) child categories. This would be a great enhancement r…

`/discourse post` command hangs on "Loading the transcript..."

Discourse post command only works in one channel Now, this is likely my fault, but I can’t figure it out, I’ve been through all the threads on the topic, and I’d love some help. I’ve checked and doubled checked the permissions of my Slack app and I can confirm that it totally 100% works… in only one of my channels! /discourse post 20 So I know the access token is set up and working fine. However, in all of the other channels in my Slack team, the command above simply outputs Loading the tran…

If you could help me tag these posts or let me know how to tag them, I would appreciate the assistance.

Hi, I was running into this same issue (after following the steps exactly).

The thing that I was missing was enabling the top level chat integration plugin:

Enabling this got the integration to work as expected.

@ililic Thank you! That was it.

(Would be good to explicitly add this to the top-level instructions! @david)

[david (David Taylor)]

Good idea I added it to the first step in the OP here:

@david

If you haven’t already, install the discourse-chat-integration plugin, and make sure its enabled via the chat integration enabled site setting.
