Hello! , im really new with shotGrid but i need to know, ¿can i run a script inside shotGrid?.

This is how native SG notifications already work.
Your users may just need to turn on this under Account Settings, Email Notfications

I hope you figured this out, but if not, I’m happy to help you with this. This is something we’re taking an advantage and send Slack notification when there is an issue.

You’d need to set up a ShotGrid Event Server and a plugin that listens to the status changes and when it meets your requirement, it send a Slack notification.

If you need help with, feel free to let me know.

Cheers

Hi,

I am also trying to set up a system using the Event daemon server to detect a specific event and send Slack notifications.

To send direct messages (DMs) in Slack, I need to know the Slack user IDs. Did you integrate this by creating custom fields in ShotGrid to handle this?

Thanks!

Yeah likely uou want to save the Slack user ID on the SG user.
Or maybe the Slack API has a function to send messages to a user based on their user profile email address?
or perhaos you can obtain the user id from an email?

Many options.

Thank you for the suggestions! Since our organization uses SSO, I can use the email address to find the Slack user IDs. This will simplify the integration process. :slight_smile:
