See how developers use Hooklistener to build reliable Slack integrations
A popular project management tool uses Hooklistener to handle their slash commands. When a user types `/todo add Buy milk`, Hooklistener acknowledges the command instantly and then forwards the request to their server. This allows them to process the command asynchronously without hitting Slack's 3-second timeout.
// Handle slash commands with 3-second response requirement
app.post('/webhook/slack', async (req, res) => {
const { command, text, user_name, response_url } = req.body;
// Acknowledge within 3 seconds
res.json({
response_type: 'in_channel',
text: `Processing ${command} ${text}...`
});
// Process command asynchronously
if (command === '/deploy') {
const result = await deployApplication(text);
// Send delayed response
await axios.post(response_url, {
text: `Deployment ${result.status} for ${text}`,
attachments: [{
color: result.success ? 'good' : 'danger',
fields: result.details
}]
});
}
});
