Github Webhooks

  • repository_dispatch is an external event you can use in a Slackbot to trigger an event in Github. For example, push text to a wiki:
@slack_events_adapter.on("gollum")
def gollum_event(event_data):
    message = event_data["event"]
    channel = message["channel"]
    user = message["user"]
    slack_web_client.chat_postMessage(channel=channel, text="A wiki page was updated!")

import requests
import json

def trigger_event(user, repo, token, event_type="custom", client_payload=None):
    url = f"https://api.github.com/repos/{user}/{repo}/dispatches"
    headers = {
        "Accept": "application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json",
        "Authorization": f"token {token}",
    }
    payload = {
        "event_type": event_type,
        "client_payload": client_payload if client_payload else {},
    }
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    return response.status_code

# Usage
user = ""
repo = ""
token = ""
event_type = "custom"
client_payload = {"key": "value"}  # optional
status_code = trigger_event(user, repo, token, event_type, client_payload)
print(f"Response status code: {status_code}")
