📋 Overview

This template demonstrates how to send a message to a Slack channel when an item is created in a monday.com board.

🖊️ Setup

• Configure the API Connection and Event Listener by creating a connector for monday.com and Slack, or use existing ones.
• Go to Parameters and change the SLACK_CHANNEL parameter to appropriate value for your instance.

🚀 Usage

Create a new item in a monday.com board, after successful event processing a new message should be sent to the pre-defined Slack channel.

import { CreateItemEvent } from '@sr-connect/monday/events';
import Slack from './api/slack';

/**
 * Entry point to when "an item is created" event is triggered
 *
 * @param event Object that holds When an item is created event data
 * @param context Object that holds function invocation context data
 */
export default async function (event: CreateItemEvent, context: Context): Promise<void> {
    if (context.triggerType === 'MANUAL') {
        console.error('This script is designed to be triggered externally or manually from the Event Listener. Please consider using Event Listener Test Event Payload if you need to trigger this script manually.');
        return;
    }

    const envVars = context.environment.vars as EnvVars;

    // Check if the pulse name is present in the event
    if (!event.event.pulseName) {
        throw Error('Item name is not present in the event');
    }

    // Send a message to pre-defined Slack channel
    await Slack.Chat.postMessage({
        body: {
            channel: envVars.SLACK_CHANNEL,
            text: `${event.event.pulseName} has been created in monday.com`
        }
    });
}

interface EnvVars {
    SLACK_CHANNEL: string;
}
