We now provide a Zapier App! Zapier should be the default choice whenever you need to integrate Open Collective with a third party service. All you need is:
To create an API key on http://opencollective.com/applications
Like everything we do, our Zapier app is open source (MIT). If you need an action that's not yet on the Zapier app and feel ready to work on the integration: check https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective-zapier/settings
Otherwise feel free to open an issue on https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective/issues to ask for it. Please tell us about our use case, we love to understand why our users do what they do!
Connect your Twitter to automatically thank new backers who contribute to your Collective.
Go to "edit Collective" > "Connected Accounts" and click the "Connect Twitter" button.
You can set up Open Collective notifications in your Slack or Gitter channel. First set up a webhook, described below, and then send it to us and we'll add the hook to our platform.
In Slack, select menu Apps & Integrations
Click Build Your Own > Make a Custom Integration > Incoming WebHooks
Choose a channel, or create a new channel, where the notifications will be sent
Click Add Incoming WebHooks Integration
Go to your room's integrations and click Open Collective
Copy the provided Webhook URL and click Done
The webhook can be added in the database Notifications table:
type (would actually be more properly named activity) can be:
either 'all' (*) to send notifications for all activities (group transaction created, payment received from Stripe, etc)
or some constant from here to only send notifications for a specific activity
Some activities are not linked to any group and will therefore be ignored.
