Slack Connection
OVERVIEW
This tool will post a configured message to the channel selected on your Slack account. You can post a simple, static message, or use merge fields and add dynamic information and build out a very detailed message. When this tool is executed, the PlusThis Slack app will join the configured channel and post that message and any subsequent message when the HTTP post is triggered.
