<p>External Notification is a plugin that allows users to send a notification to Slack.<br />
Also it has useful hooks for developers.</p>
<h3>Default function</h3>
<p>When WordPress sends a notification email for site administrators, this plugin sends the message to slack instead of an email.<br />
This feature can be disabled from the administration screen.</p>
<h3>How to use the plugin as a notification API</h3>
<p>There are 2 ways to use the plugin as the API.<br />
1. Call the ready-to-use external_notification2slack function<br />
    <code>external_notification2slack($message, $user_id, $payload)</code><br />
2. If another plugin will use this to post slack, it is best to use this option instead of calling external_notification2slack function to avoid Fatal Error in case this plugin is deactivated.\<br />
    <code>do_action( 'external_notification2slack', $message, $user_id, $payload );</code></p>
<h3>For developers</h3>
<h4>‘webhook_url’ acquisition priority</h4>
<ol>
<li>constant ‘EXNO_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL’ in wp-config.php</li>
<li>‘webhook_url’ entry in External Notification option page</li>
</ol>
<h4>logging error messages</h4>
<p>if you install & activete our another plugin ‘App Log’, outputs an error message to the log file.</p>

<p>App Log is a WordPress plugin that allows users (mainly developers) to output logs for debugging purposes.<br />
Log files are listed on the Administrator Dashboard page for easier viewing and deleting.<br />
By default, log files are stored in <em>/wp-content/plugins/app-log/applog</em> but log directory can be changed either via Dashboard page or Settings page.</p>
