Slack Chatbot Integration with Blueprism

Question

I have a Blueprism process and have a Slack account as well. So is there any way to use slack bot along with blue prism? if it is so how we can implement the middle layer between slack and blue prism? Can I use slack API for this integration? Please help me out with a strategy.

I need to create a slack chatbot that can communicate with the blue prism process and get the result to the user in the chat. Up to now I have implemented a slack chatbot using node.js server. So I can call a webservice by it whenever user requests the process run. In Blueprism I was able to find out that web service can trigger a process. But still, I couldn't find how API call can trigger the process in blueprism side

Hi, your question is actually very broad but it all boils down to what you want to do with slack as Most of Slack API's work with standard HTTP requests. The Real Time Messaging API works with Websockets BP can communicate with an API via http requests. If you need your pre-existing Slack bot to communicate with Blue Prism, you might want to look at the "Resources - Consuming an Exposed Web Service" on the Documents tab of the Blue Prism portal. It explains in detail how to expose and implement a process/object as a SOAP web service
