YetiLabs Post Alerts for Slack lets you send a Slack message automatically when a post is published in selected categories. Define simple rules:
<ul>
<li>Category (one or more) → Channel → Message template</li>
<li>Supports Slack Web API via Bot Token (<code>chat.postMessage</code>).</li>
<li>Legacy Incoming Webhook is supported as a fallback if you haven’t migrated to a bot token yet.</li>
</ul>
Features: 
– Per-site settings in multisite (no network settings) 
– Multiple rules; a post can trigger multiple messages 
– Customizable message template with placeholders: <code>{title}</code>, <code>{url}</code>, <code>{author}</code>, <code>{categories}</code>, <code>{site_url}</code>, <code>{site_title}</code>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
The plugin works by matching the categories of a published post against your defined rules.
<ol>
<li>Defining Rules: You can create multiple rules. Each rule consists of:
<ul>
<li>Trigger Categories: One or more categories that will trigger the alert.</li>
<li>Target Channel: The Slack channel where the message will be sent (e.g., <code>#general</code> or a channel ID).</li>
<li>Message Template: The content of the message, supporting placeholders like <code>{title}</code> and <code>{url}</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Post Publication: When a post is published (or transitions to the ‘publish’ status), the plugin checks its categories.</li>
<li>Matching: If a post’s category matches any category in a rule, that rule is triggered.</li>
<li>Multiple Matches: If a post matches multiple rules, a separate message will be sent for each matching rule. For example, if you have a rule for “News” going to <code>#news</code> and another for “Tech” going to <code>#tech</code>, a post in both categories will trigger alerts in both channels.</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>

What data is sent: When a post matching your configured rules is published, the plugin sends the following data to Slack: post title, URL, author name, categories, and your custom message template.
Why data is sent: Data is sent to Slack to provide the core functionality of the plugin: notifying your Slack workspace when new content is published on your WordPress site.
When data is sent: Data is transmitted to Slack only when a post is published that matches your configured category rules.

<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/stream/" rel="ugc">Stream</a> records activity on your WordPress site in your WordPress database. This plugin allows you to also send those records to <a href="https://slack.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Slack</a>.

Stream to Slack

... and so well executed.
It makes so much sense to see website changes in my #dev channel, alongside my Github integrations. Especially working with a team which has multiple contributors on our site. Loving seeing the potential of Stream unlocked like this.
Brilliant work. 👍
