Recipes

Set one up as written, or change it to fit how you work. The docs have the same recipes step by step.

01Built into BlueBot

Starts when

Someone texts you

Create an incoming webhook for the channel in Slack and copy its URL.
Paste the URL into BlueBot’s Slack notifications and turn on alerts for new replies.
Each new reply then shows up in that channel.

02Built into BlueBot

Starts when

Your Mac stops checking in

Use the same Slack webhook and turn on the alerts for the Mac going offline and for a paused webhook.
If your Mac stops checking in, the channel hears about it, and texts wait until the Mac is back.

03With Zapier

Starts when

Slack’s New Message Posted to Channel trigger in Zapier

Start a Zap with Slack’s New Message Posted to Channel trigger on your urgent channel.
Add BlueBot’s Send Text action with the on-call person’s number in To.
Map the message and who posted it into Text.

The text it sends

Urgent from {{user_name}} in Slack: {{message}}

From your own number
