# Slack Message

Type: `slackMessage`

This handler sends a slack message to a configured channel. It fires the [slackMessage](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/behaviors/actions/slack-message.md) action and accepts a standard configuration for that action type.

The `config` for this handler is as follows:

```
{
    "url": "<slackUrl>",
    "message": "<message>"
}
```

## Example

```
{
    "type": "slackMessage",
    "config": {
        "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/A/SLACK/HOOK",
        "message": "Hello slack!"
    }
}
```
