Slack Access token

As a Developer,I need to send the notification to the user's Slack Channel (That channel has Jenkins CI app) from Jenkins dynamically.

So I have to get the below things of Jenkins CI app(Already installed in user's channel)by using Slack OAuth.

1.Team Subdomain 
2.Integration Token
3.Base URL

I got the access token by using Slack API Documentation. But I don't have the clue to get those things by using access token in API Call. Can anyone help me out please?

If you only want to sent messages into a channel, you can simply use the incoming webhook that has already been installed for Jenkins.

Just take the existing URL and make a HTTP POST request to that URL like this:

POST https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Content-type: application/json
{
    "text": "Hello, world."
}

The correct channel should already be pre-configured, but you can also specify your own by adding the channel property to your request.

See the official documentation on more details on how to use incoming webhooks.

Let's go through each one:

  1. Team Subdomain. Each Slack Workspace looks something like this: https://<teamname>.slack.com where is used to access the Slack Workspace. So in order to access the workspace you need to know what it's subdomain is or in this case the <teamname>

  2. The integration token and base url can be found in the webhook url from Jenkins. Your URL should look something like this: https://example.com/hooks/xxxx. Where xxx is the Integration token and https://example.com/ is the base url
