Thanks Alex.

I explored using incoming webhook, the prob with that is u need a webhook per channel?

There was another lib which was creating websockets, i will cross check if this one create that as well. I think this one just make http post request without creating websockets

The idea behind this integration is to have a channel per project/org so that ppl can join/subscribe to channels they are interested in. (Twitter can get overwhelming if there are too many projects)

Given that the function isn't guaranteed to be persistent, make sure you don't establish any websockets. I post messages to Slack simply by using a HTTP post and the appropriate incoming webhook URL.

You are also tweeting, so IFTTT can be used to forward the tweets to Slack as an alternative.
