SMSEagle posts incoming SMS, sent messages or delivery reports to a Slack channel, so your team sees SMS traffic where it already works.
You create a small Slack app with an Incoming Webhook, so SMSEagle can post to the channel you pick. There is no bot to run or maintain.
A Webhooks rule can post incoming SMS, sent SMS or delivery reports to Slack, or all three as separate rules, so the channel shows only the messages your team needs.
SMSEagle sends and receives SMS through its own SIM card, independently of Slack and the internet. If the post to Slack fails, the messages are still sent.
An SMS arrives on the device, is sent from it, or a delivery report comes back – whichever event the Webhooks rule is set to watch.
SMSEagle posts a JSON payload to the Slack Incoming Webhook URL saved in the rule, with no middleware in between.
The SMS, sent message or delivery report appears as a post in the Slack channel, straight away.
No custom middleware or bot to build. With a Slack Incoming Webhook URL and a Webhooks rule on SMSEagle, SMS activity is posting into Slack in about 10 minutes.
Incoming SMS appear in a Slack channel, so nobody has to watch a separate inbox or device.
Delivery reports can go to the same channel, so the team sees whether an SMS reached the recipient.
Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over.
This integration will use Webhooks feature of SMSEagle device. This feature is included in each version of SMSEagle device.

When Incoming Webhooks are enabled, the settings page should refresh and some extra options will appear. Go to the bottom and click the button Add New Webhook to Workspace.
Go ahead and pick a channel that the app will post to, and then click to Authorize your app.
You’ll be sent back to your app settings, and you should now see a new entry under the Webhook URLs for Your Workspace section, with a Webhook URL that’ll look something like this:
https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That URL is your new Incoming Webhook, one that’s specific to a single channel. Copy the URL for the next step.
