ReportI am going to walk-through how can we integrate Slack from Dynamics CRM. My requirement is simply create Slack channel & invite an user to that channel.
Let’s say we need to trigger this channel creation on create of a new account in CRM, I chose to use post create plugin & call Slack API methods in there.
Slack Setup:
For simplicity, I am using Legacy token for this demo. Alternately we can register the Slack App & get workspace token using OAuth.
We can test the Slack API methods in here
Plugin Setup:
Prerequisites: Newtonsoft.Json
using System.Net;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System.Text;
The below is the simple Web API call for creating a channel & inviting an user.

using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
{
var responsebytes = webClient.UploadValues("https://slack.com/api/channels.create", "POST", new NameValueCollection() { { "token", "xoxp-******" }, { "name", "As_you_wish" } });
string responsebody = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(responsebytes);
JObject joResponse = JObject.Parse(responsebody);
JObject ojObject = (JObject)joResponse["channel"];
JValue val = (JValue)ojObject["id"];
string channelid = val + "";
var responsebody2 = webClient.UploadValues("https://slack.com/api/channels.invite", "POST", new NameValueCollection() { { "token", "xoxp-******" }, { "channel", channelid }, { "user", "######" } });
}
