Calling Jenkins from Slack slash command

Question

Is there a way to make a REST API call from Slack? I can use Slash Commands to make GET/POST requests, but it seems I can't pass additional header parameters in the header.

I am trying to invoke a remote Jenkins script which requires passing the API token to authenticate the user. I don't want to write a middleware service between Slack and Jenkins.

Answer 1

I ended up writing a Node.js middleware.
