This val sends customizable notifications about events on your Attio lists to Slack.

It receives Attio webhooks, enrichs the data via the Attio API, stores that data in a SQLite database, and periodically sends notifications about recent activity to Slack.

This val is a remix of Steve's attio-slack-summaries val. That val sent many more events through and did not handle comments, which this val now does. In addition, the scope of notifications that you'll receive is much more limited. See DETAILS.md for more information.

For a video overview of this val, see this loom video.

1. Remix this val
2. Get a Slack webhook & set it as SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL in this val's Environment variables in the left sidebar
3. Get an Attio Access Token (with all read & write permissions) & set it as ATTIO_API_KEY in this val's Environment variables in the left sidebar
4. Configure your lists in webhook.ts:
   • Update the listIds array with your Attio list IDs
   • To find your list's id, navigate to the list and copy the path segment after collection: https://app.attio.com/<workspaceName>/collection/<listId>
5. Run setup.ts to set up the database and Attio webhook
6. Run bootstrap.ts to initialize the database with the current state of your configured lists.
7. Go trigger some Attio events and see the message in Slack! (If you want them faster, you can run alert.ts manually.)

To track additional Attio lists, add their IDs to the listIds array in webhook.ts. After adding new lists, run bootstrap.ts to initialize them in the database

Note that removing a list id from listIds will not remove existing data from the database, but it will prevent it from being stored in the future.

See CUSTOMIZATION.md for more information on how to customize the formatting of the messages sent to Slack.

Documentation:

• DETAILS.md - Details on how the system works

The system uses Attio webhooks to receive real-time notifications about changes to your lists. Each webhook event triggers:

1. Event Reception webhook.ts - Validates and filters incoming events
2. State Storage webhook-handler.ts - Stores current state in SQLite
3. Change Detection alert-processor.ts - Compares states to detect changes
4. Message Generation formatters.ts - Formats changes into human readable strings
5. Slack Delivery slack.ts - Sends formatted messages to Slack

See DETAILS.md for more information on how the system works, including what types of notifications you will receive.
