# WordPress+Slack?(or simillar)?

 * I think I want to have slak or something like it. The parts of slak I like is
   real time chat, the option to upload files to get opinions. And like Discord(
   or otherway around) their is a really awesome channel (text chat) thing all in
   one place Cantina-esk talk.
    I googled around to see if I can get Slak to show
   up on the website. Alas the plugins that might make that happen are…Well Preserved
   or vaporware as far as I can tell. The Discord is another possibility for the
   voice chat side.
 * Questions: What other popular services are around that are like Slak/HipChat/
   Discord?
    Of those what have straitforward or simple (Ie I am no programer) way
   to get set up so as they show up on my website?
 * Is my question making sense? or do I need to try explain what I think I am looking
   for better?
 * =Tldr/Summery=
    I really like things like Discord/HipChat/Slak/Other for voice
   that and work on projects together plus they are just awesome.
 * Any opinions what’s out their that plays well with wordpress such that they show
   up right their on the website even if they come from a whole other place?

 * Hi [@gorx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorx/),
 * So, basically, you want a post in your WordPress install for each Slack message
   in a particular channel, right?
 * I don’t actually know of an existing plugin on wordpress.org that will do this
   by itself, but I would look at a service like Zapier or IFTTT – either should
   be able to do this.
 * If you’re unfamiliar with these services, they basically connect disparate services
   via their API’s and allow you to create actions that ‘fire’ upon certain triggers.
   I would think you could setup a trigger for a new Slack post to create a new 
   WordPress post.
 * I hope that helps!

 * Right. I think what i’m picturing is somehow a slack channel+wordpress can talk
   somehow so that someone on the slack side for example point to a website or something
   a team or group is working on and it might show up as a post on the wordpress
   side.
    Or possibly feeling like a slack channel is actually part of the website
   such that a group can say Hey guys here’s a update or live text chat that could
   show up on the wordpress side such that it it’s in a own frame or box kind of
   like shoutbos or ajaxchat (a live text chat plugin) does.
 * I thought it’d be handy and realy nice if the slack part could say to wordpress:
   aha here’s a new post and a question or just a friendly geek post.
 * I thought it’d be realy handy (mostly so as it doesn’t become a mess) to have
   slack channels handle project and geek out chat. Then have wordpress say aha 
   this is a general science geek thing send it to the a posts as ‘goings on’
 * I think it might make sense to have a set of slac channels for brainstorming.
   Then taged brainstorming(Thing here)
 * Then a seperate one to be kind like cork board about general geeky posts about
   science, or tech or what ever (just as examples) So as things don’t quickly become
   a mess.
    If you have ideas by all meens.
 * I haven’t used those kinds of services. So I have no idea if they slow down wordpress.
 * After I posted that I tried out WiseChat. for general chat. Working great (so
   far) for just general text chat.
 * I hope my response made sense. If not by all meens say so.
