Sending Notifications to a Slack Webhook

Note: This documentation is for FAKE before version 5 (or the non-netcore version). The new documentation can be found here

In this article you will learn how to create a Slack webhook integration and send a notification to it. This article assumes that you already have a Slack team setup.

Adding a Webhook Integration to a Channel

Follow the instructions for setting up an incoming webhook integration. When finished, you should have a Webhook URL that looks like "https://hooks.slack.com/services/some/random/text".

// The webhook URL from the integration you set up
let webhookUrl = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/some/random/text"

                        Title = "Field Title 1"
                        Value = "Field Value 2"}
                    {SlackNotificationAttachmentFieldDefaults with
                        Title = "Field Title 1"
                        Value = "Field Value 2"}|]

            {SlackNotificationAttachmentDefaults with
                Fallback = "Attachment 2 Plain"
                Text = "Attachment 2 Rich"
                Pretext = "Attachment 2 Pretext"
                Color = "#FFCCDD"
            }|]
    })
|> printfn "Result: %s"

The result should look something like this:
