We use Slack for messaging here at LocalSearch and love it very much. We also use PRTG for system monitoring and notifications – why not integrate them both together so I can receive PRTG notifications in a channel in Slack?

While I specifically built it for PRTG it’s a command line app which could potentially use to publish any type of message to Slack.
