Integrating Slack With Rush

Overview

The focus of this article is integrating Rush with Slack. Slack is an instant messaging app that allows businesses to communicate, centralize all notifications, and collaborate. Slack is rapidly gaining momentum in e-commerce business communities for its quick messaging service and an online workspace to discuss day-to-day management issues. Rush allows store owners to integrate Slack so that they can receive shipping updates directly on their Slack app.

To see other apps integrated with Rush, refer to the article Rush Integrations.

Installing Incoming WebHooks app to Slack

To integrate Slack and Rush, you’ll need Slack’s Incoming WebHooks that can be copied after installing the Slack app from this link; https://slack.com/apps/A0F7XDUAZ-incoming-webhooks?tab=more_info

After installing the app, add Incoming WebHooks to the right Slack workspace. To do so:

1. Click on Your Slack Workspace.
2. Next, click on the Add to Slack button on the left side.
3. In the Post to Channel section, select Slack’s channel from the dropdown.
4. Next, copy the Webhook from the Webhook URL field in the Setup Instructions section, you will need it.

Now that the Webhook has been copied, it is time to start integrating the two apps. To do so, follow the steps given below:

1. Go to the Rush app.
2. Click on Notifications from the navigation sidebar on the left.
3. Navigate to the Slack Configuration widget in the Advanced section.
4. Click on the Configure button.     A popup will appear.

6. Pick the language you want to send notifications in.
7. Pick on which event the notifications should be sent. Note that currently, we can send only a single event to Slack.
