GitSlack Tickets

GitSlack Tickets is an app that integrates GitHub and Slack to help you manage your project's issues. With GitSlack Tickets, you can get notified in Slack when new issues are created on GitHub, and create new issues right from Slack.

Installation

To use this app, you'll need to have the following installed:

• Node.js (version 10 or higher)
• npm (version 6 or higher)
• A GitHub account with a personal access token
• A Slack workspace with a webhook URL (see here for instructions on how to set up a webhook)

Once you have everything installed and set up, you can clone this repository using this command:

git clone https://github.com/gtchakama/github-slack-webhook.git

Then, navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and install any necessary dependencies using:

npm install

Next, create a file called .env in the root of the project, and add the following environment variables:

GITHUB_TOKEN=<your-personal-access-token>
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=<your-slack-webhook-url>

Finally, start the app using:

npm start

Usage

The app has two routes:

1. GET /new-issues: Returns a JSON array of all issues opened in the last 24 hours.
2. POST /create-issue: Creates a new issue on GitHub and sends a notification to Slack. Expects a JSON payload with a title and body field.

To test the app, you can use a tool like Postman to make requests to these routes.
