slackr_csv function

Send a data frame to Slack as a CSV

slackr_csv simplifies the process of sending a data frame to Slack as a CSV file. It is highly recommended to leave the filename argument as the default (tempfile), as changing it will persist a csv file in your working directory.

slackr_csv(
  data,
  filename = tempfile(fileext = ".csv"),
  title = NULL,
  initial_comment = NULL,
  channels = Sys.getenv("SLACK_CHANNEL"),
  token = Sys.getenv("SLACK_TOKEN"),
  thread_ts = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

• data: the data frame or tibble to upload.
• filename: the file to save to. Defaults to a tempfile. Using the default is highly advised, as using a non-tempfile will write a file that persists on the disk (either in the working directory, or at the location specified).
• title: Title of file.
• initial_comment: The message text introducing the file in specified channels.
• channels: Comma-separated list of channel names or IDs where the file will be shared.
• token: Authentication token bearing required scopes.
• thread_ts: Provide another message's ts value to upload this file as a reply. Never use a reply's ts value; use its parent instead.
• ...: additional arguments to be passed to write.csv().
