Emit custom events through Slack API

I'm trying to find a way to send events to a hubot running on Slack from, say, a python script. I've looked at the Events API documentation, but it only talks about how to receive information on events from Slack. Is there any way to emit an event to slack through the API?

Solution

  • No, you can only receive events from Slack with the Events API. But they are many other ways to interact with the Slack using the normal Slack API, e.g. sending messages to a channel.
