Hi,

I am new in using slack api. I need to send message to a particular slack group / single user by using slack-java-api. Please let me know how it can be done?

Sorry, but there is very less documentation for this API. Please help.

Thanks, Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,

Thank you for your question. And I must apologize for the less documentation.

You can do by using Slack#chat and ChatApi#postMessage. The sample code is here to send a message to the group:

Slack slack = ...; // create Slack object

Group group = ...; // you can get group, using Slack#groups and Groups#list

slack.chat().postMessage(group.id(), "HelloWorld");

It is here to send to the user(im):


Slack slack = ...; // create Slack object
User user = ...;

Im im = slack.im().open(user.id()); // you have to get Im object from user

slack.chat().postMessage(im.id(), "HelloWorld");

Regards, bitter_fox
