Once you have ngrok installed, you can run the following command in your terminal. Now that our application is running, we can see it live on so we must tunnel it using ngrok to be exposed to the internet. Once all packages are installed, run the application by entering the following command in your terminal. Pip install flask signalwire twilio slackclient python-dotenv You can accomplish this by running the following command in the terminal of your application's root directory. We will be using ngrok for our tunnel, which will give us the base of our webhook, and then the application will define the path that we must follow.īegin by installing all necessary packages. In order to create our webhooks, we must run our application as well as set up our server tunnel. So, we will begin by setting this up and then continue on with configuring the slackbot. In order to complete the configuration of the slackbot, we must enter a webhook that verifies a challenge request. The first goal to accomplish is to configure our Slack and SignalWire webhooks so that all events that occur over either platform will be sent to our application.

Or, you can host this code on a server of your choice instead

Ngrok will be used to expose our application to both SignalWire and Slack via webhooks. For more information on where to find this stuff, check out our Navigating your SignalWire Space section! You can find all of these credentials in an easily-copyable format under the API tab of your SignalWire Space. You will also need to have a SignalWire phone number, and have your SignalWire Space credentials ready to go ( API Token, Space URL, and Project ID). This guide uses the Python SignalWire SDK, for a guide on installation click here. This application will associate your SignalWire phone number and your Slack Workspace so that you may send and receive messages all through the Slack interface. In a day of office suites being replaced by slack channels, we figured it only appropriate to share just one of the many ways that the Slack APIs and SignalWire APIs can be used in unison.

Slack to Conversational Messaging The end result.
