Integrate Stash with Slack using webhooks

stash_slack_integration.md

This is a short article on how we integrate stash and slack in openmind

First of all i assume you have:

• a working stash installation
• a repository you to notify slack on pushes
• stash user with administration priviledges
• full access to the server (linux) where stash is installed on
• a team configured on slack
• slack user with administration priviledges

Prepare your stash server

Access your stash server and create a script

vim /home/appuser/stash_slack.sh

Paste the following:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Notify commits to slack"

channel=$2
icon=$4
payload="payload={\"channel\":\"$channel\",\"username\":\"webhookbot\",\"text\":\"Push on ${STASH_REPO_NAME} by ${STASH_USER_NAME} <$STASH_USER_EMAIL>\",\"icon_emoji\":\"$icon\",\"attachments\":["
while read from_ref to_ref ref_name; do
  message=`git log --format=%B -n 1 ${to_ref}`
  title="[$STASH_REPO_NAME:$ref_name] <$3/commits/$to_ref|$to_ref>: $message"
  payload="$payload{\"fallback\":\"$title\",\"pretext\":\"$title\"},"
done

payload="${payload%?}]}"
curl -X POST --data-urlencode "$payload" $1

and save.

Make it executable

chmod +x /home/appuser/stash_slack.sh

Configure Slack

1. Access to slack: https://YOUR_TEAM.slack.com/services/new (replace YOUR_TEAM with your team name)
2. Select "Incoming WebHooks"

7. Once installed, go back to Hooks page in your repository
8. Click on "Enable" on the "External Post Receive Hook" row (not pre-receive)
9. Put the full path to the stash_slack.sh executable script in "Executable" field: /home/appuser/stash_slack.sh
10. Fill "Positional Parameters" with:
    • 1st line: Web hook url you copied at last point in previous paragraph

:rocket:

Everything should work! Try to push something!

HTH

This only sends the last commit in a push, any way to include all commits from a push that has multiple changes?

@perlsaiyan I think that is what this gist is doing: https://gist.github.com/linjer/2ee6146d3b320cbe9225
