This actor sends messages to Slack automatically. It can be used instead of email notifications and is ideal to combine with other actors monitoring successful runs, errors, etc.

To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running actors via the API in Apify Docs.
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare actor input
const input = {
"text": "Hello from Apify actor!",
"channel": "#general"
};
(async () => {
// Run the actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("katerinahronik/slack-message").call(input);
// Fetch and print actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
