Member Profiles - Contact to Slack DM

[tpage99]

I am almost certain now I can get this done with Slack Workflows + Tally. Slack workflow accepts a webhook, so I'm thinking that I can create a form that passes in the member id somehow (need to figure out what the ref is here in docs) and the webhook will then ping and pass along info to DM the member whom was contacted via their profile...

More to come on this but it's a spit-balling thought process idea at the moment.

Little bit of headway here with the more custom route. Have a Slack up up and running and might need to either 1) create an app; or 2) use netlify functions to handle auth at endpoint; orrrr 3) try and get something set up with tally and webhooks leveraging an automation.

Here's a method that should be supported with options 1 or 2

Resources:
Would need to update the member profiles first by including their channel IDs (this is the member ID). Can pull up and check here: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.list/test

From there, we would need to send a fetch request and ping the URL from the netlify function (I think) and parse through the data and then send the proper post request using the member ID/channel. More on posting here: https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage

Here's a structured curl example

curl -X POST \
  https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
  -d '{
    "channel": "U06NU2HRBFE",
    "username": "SDA Profile Contact",
    "text": "A Merchant Wants a Quote",
    "attachments": [
      {
        "color": "#E5414D",
        "fields": [
          {
            "title": "Merchant",
            "value": "Jason Smith",
            "short": true
          },
          {
            "title": "Email",
            "value": "jason.smith@example.com",
            "short": true
          },
          {
            "title": "Budget",
            "value": "$1000",
            "short": true
          },
          {
            "title": "Job Information",
            "value": "We want to create a free gift with purchase option - without using an app. We have tried several and none play well with our fulfillment system. We need something bespoke or just built into our theme"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }'
