I love how the Slackbot tells me when a deal I follow moves stages, closes, changes value, etc. It also formats things in a good way, e.g., striking through the old value and then putting the new value next to it.
How would I build something like this for myself? For example for a dashboard? Also I’d like to do it for all deals versus only the deals I follow.
Basically I’d like to use the API to get deal updates and then format them in a nice way.
Is the Slackbot open source by any chance?
Also I do not want to use Webhooks because I’m worried about them failing. I’d prefer to use the “pull based” API so I can make sure I don’t lose data.
You can create all kinds of integrations If you want to create one for Slack, you’ll have to take a look at their API, as well.
If you are referring to Dealbot, it’s not open-source, but we have a lot of material to help you get started building something similar. Did you already take a look at our documentation and API reference?
About webhooks, I would definitely recommend you to use them. They save a lot requests and unnecessary work. Also, there’s a retry logic, so as long as you’re on a reliable environment, you should be fine
