Description

This plugin allows you to send notifications to Slack channels when certain events in WordPress occur.

By default, there are two events that can be sent to Slack:

1. When a post needs review (status transitioned to 'pending')
2. When a post is published
3. When there's a new comment

It's possible to add more events using slack_get_events filter. For more information check the doc.

Development of this plugin is done on GitHub. Pull requests are always welcome.

There are some extension plugins that notify events triggered by other plugins. Belows are some of them:

• Slack EDD
• Slack WooCommerce
• Slack Contact Form 7
• Slack Gravity Forms
• Slack User Password Reset

Installation

1. Upload Slack plugin to your blog's wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate.
