Pantheon Community

New community feature alert! Slack + Forum integrations 🤖

#1

Happy Friday, y’all!

In our ongoing quest to make the Pantheon community even more useful, I’ve been improving the integration between Slack & our forum.

The forum already auto-posts certain categories to Slack, but now we can move conversations from Slack to the forum.

:star2: Get more attention for your questions, and help stressed out future devs looking for the same information! :star2:

How to use the Slack integration

To move an unthreaded Slack conversation to the forum, use this Slack command:

/discourse post X

This command will collect the last X Slack posts in the current channel, and offer you a draft of the transcript here in the forum. This works for unthreaded conversations in Slack. Check out this example.

To move a threaded conversation to the forum, use this Slack command:

/discourse post thread https://pantheon-community.slack.com/archives/CB2H8065D/p1597526201000200

You’ll want to grab the link to that thread on Slack, and again, you’ll be offered a draft of the thread transcript in the forum. This is also useful if you want to move a conversation that’s deep in the backscroll.

I, for one, am excited about it. Possibly too excited.

This is huge! And something everyone in our community can do to help bring more attention to recurring questions. Therefore helping others! :clap:t2:

Yes this is fantastic. What a great idea! Best thing is to be sure these directions are pinned somewhere we can all easily find them in future - I know for sure I’ll never remember them exactly when I need them :wink:

Great idea, thank you–just added them to slackbot so “discourse help” will show how to get it done.
