But IBM will not continue to develop and announced that they will discontinue this platform, hope you didn’t invest to much in this platform.

Yes this would have been the next step in my series of system integration with the new lotusscript classes but no worries there is lots of great services that also can be integrated.

What is a service that you would like to be able to integrate again in Domino?

You never know that service might be added to my list.

Posting to Slack using Lotusscript

Integrating Slack into your domino applications is quite straight forward and we can actually reuse the same code as for Microsoft Teams. But first lets see what you need to do in your slack channel.

And select add an app

And Select Build in the top right corner and start building.
Now you can create your application and select the channel for it.

Create a Slack App for IBM Domino

Next step is to active incoming webhooks

Using incoming webhooks to post to Slack

You will now get a unique post URL for this Slack channel when you want to post application messages.

Now over to Domino designer

  1. Create a Lotusscript agent
  2. Add the following code
Dim session As New notessession
Dim SlackURL As String,Body As String,Message as string
message="Domino 10 Talks"
SlackURL="<Paste the Slack URL here>"
Dim http As NotesHTTPRequest
Set http=session.CreateHTTPRequest()
Body=|{"text":"|+Message+|"}|
Call http.SetHeaderField("ContentType","application/json")
Call http.Post(SlackURL,Body)

This is how you simply post messages to a slack channel with Domino 10. Check out how to post to Microsoft teams if you haven’t

Posting to Microsoft teams from using Lotusscript

Posted by on 14 January,2019 4 comments

With the new HTTP classes in Domino 10 and lotusscript sending a message to a Microsoft teams group is very simple.

first you need to enable your microsoft teams group to accept posts this is done by adding a incoming webhook to the teams channel

  1. Open the Channel and click the More Options button (which appears as three dots at the top right of the window).
  2. Select Manage teams.
  3. Click on the Apps tab and click on the Go to Store button
  5. Scroll down or search for Incoming Webhook and click the Add button.
  6. Give the connector a name and image of your choosing and finally click Create.
  1. A new unique URI is automatically generated. Copy this URI string to your clipboard.

Now over to domino designer

  1. Create a Lotusscript agent
  2. Add the following code
Dim session As New notessession
Dim teamsURL As String,Body As String,Message as string
message="Domino 10 Talks"
teamsURL="<Paste the teams URI here>"
Dim http As NotesHTTPRequest
Set http=session.CreateHTTPRequest()
Body=|{"text":"|+Message+|"}|
Call http.SetHeaderField("ContentType","application/json")
Call http.Post(teamsURL,Body)

Run the code and a message should appear in the channel. There is lots of extensions to the Json Body so you can format the text and add images or links. Happy Coding!! This is the first post of a series how you can extend Domino 10 using the new http and json request classes.
