slackr_csv {slackr}

Send a data frame to Slack as a CSV

Description

slackr_csv simplifies the process of sending a data frame to Slack as a CSV file. It is highly recommended to leave the filename argument as the default (tempfile), as changing it will persist a csv file in your working directory.

Usage

slackr_csv(
  data,
  filename = tempfile(fileext = ".csv"),
  title = NULL,
  initial_comment = NULL,
  channels = Sys.getenv("SLACK_CHANNEL"),
  token = Sys.getenv("SLACK_TOKEN"),
  thread_ts = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

the data frame or tibble to upload.

filename

the file to save to. Defaults to a tempfile. Using the default is highly advised, as using a non-tempfile will write a file that persists on the disk (either in the working directory, or at the location specified).

title

Title of file.

initial_comment

The message text introducing the file in specified channels.

channels

Comma-separated list of channel names or IDs where the file will be shared.

token

Authentication token bearing required scopes.

thread_ts

Provide another message's ts value to upload this file as a reply. Never use a reply's ts value; use its parent instead.

...

additional arguments to be passed to write.csv().

Value

httr response object from POST call (invisibly)

httr response object from POST call (invisibly)
