@robinpath/slack

Slack Web API and Incoming Webhooks client for messaging, channels, reactions, file uploads, and user management

Why use this module?

The slack module lets you:

• Send a message to a Slack channel via chat.postMessage
• Send a message via a Slack Incoming Webhook URL (no token needed)
• Reply to a message thread via chat.postMessage with thread_ts
• Add an emoji reaction to a message via reactions.add
• Upload a file to a Slack channel using the new file upload API

All functions are callable directly from RobinPath scripts with a simple, consistent API.
