We use slack as real-time chat. Would it be possible to get the notifications of discussions/answers in slack ? |

@prudhomm This would be available with @becca's idea in #31 regarding webhook messages for discussion events, however as of right now, this isn't possible using just GitHub. On the other hand, though, Slack and GitHub both have great APIs. Using both of them, you could listen for the discussions event, then post to slack. At the current moment, I don't see a Discussions event on the GitHub Api Docs just yet, however, I'm sure the team will add it there soon enough. Hope this helps! 👍 |

Hi @HPaulson! Thanks for the answer. There's still no Discussions event in the GitHub API AFAICT. Is there a hope that such an event will be introduced? It's hard to provide my users and contributors with the level of support they deserve when there are no notifications about their questions and ideas. Thanks! |

I've successfully used Zapier as a bridge using the API. It took me a few hours to get just right, but that's less than it would take me to spin up a service to do the same. |

@Relequestual awesome! Can you share some technical details & struggles you had to overcome? So it's easier for me (and maybe others) to set up. |

@folex Apologies for the delay. Here's a link to where I pasted the ZAP export: #2943 (comment) and the actual link for ease: https://gist.github.com/Relequestual/7684fb3df14d43b7525d9e71d44da65a |

Hi @evi-liu would it be possible to update this discussion when the feature is available for testing or just get an update on your timeline? It sounds like you've been actively working on this and it would be great help in encouraging my team to use discussions just to express that activity! https://twitter.com/tweetsbyevi/status/1445095905347002390 |

I second the desire for the Slack GitHub app to support Discussions. |

+100 and as many as I can! The current issue I see with teams facing when adopting Discussions is that they are in "yet another conversation forum" - whereas if they were where teams already have these same conversations today - Slack, Teams.. - it would be a great integration! |

Exactly what we need as well. Discussions go stale when there isn't a constant reminder to comment and conclude them, which could be achieved with the slack github app as it works for PR comments, issue comments etc... |

Same problem here: when people post questions to discussions, I'm always late to reply because I don't have any way of being notified about them. In comparison, on new issues I receive a Slack message and can reply asap. |

Now that discussions is out of beta, is Slack app integration close? |

I just saw the slack integration is now requesting permissions for read-only access to discussions. Does that mean this is now possible? |

Yes! It works! I'm pretty hyped. Not sure why the documentation isn't on the master branch, but the currently deployed plugin worked for me as described on: https://github.com/integrations/slack/tree/discussions-readme-update Just use:

Awesome! I just saw that permission, too I was able to subscribe with the command you shared 🎉 However, I tested with an existing integration I have via https://pipedream.com/ that notified me of the topic getting created, pinned, commented, and answered. But, the official github integration did not notify about the pin or the comment |

Just want to chip in that my team definitely wants notifications on comments as well as new and answered discussions--so nice to see this first step implemented though! |

Hi @evi-liu , I was thankful to see #2844 (comment) and wondered if we could add a feature request so that we get notifications on comments as well.

@evi-liu since this issue is closed, should a new feature request be opened to add notifications on comments? |

Hey @evi-liu, can you confirm this is available globally? We don't see this option on the GitHub integration in Slack, and don't see any update to the bot pending. Thanks! |

@philcluff Yes, this should be available globally. Did you get an error when you tried the above command in one of your Slack channels? |

@evi-liu as mentioned here #2844 (comment) notifications for replies/comments also would be awesome to have. |

I was just fiddling with this because I was getting annoyed with the notifications setup For me
It does feel like a bug though, since the first comment did specify a single category and the integration just ignored it and subscribed me to everything |
