I want to broadcast the App feedback details (as is on Outsystems' ECT_provider : message, screenshot, date created etc.) to an existing Slack channel. How would I go about this? I am still very new to Outsystems.

Hi Boipelo,
This is a cool idea.
Sending a message to Slack is done via an API call, check the documentation here.
There are plenty of examples of ECT connectors to other systems on the forge. Any of these 6 can get you started:
You can look at one of them and create your own. This would be a very nice contribution to the forge.
Do you ant to give it a shot?
Cheers
Hi and welcome to the Community!
You are in luck because Forge already has the pieces you need to start :)
First you'll need the App Feedback Connector: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/1966/app-feedback-connector
And you can check how to use it to integrate to other tools with this component, in this one we connect feedback from App Feedback to JIRA - the project management tool: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/2153/app-feedback-to-jira
Then you'll need the Slack Connector: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/4045/slack-connector
After you have this two pieces, you'll have to:
A few resources that might help you:
Slack's API documentation: https://api.slack.com/
If you foresee a lot of feedback coming this development pattern is mandatory: https://www.outsystems.com/learn/lesson/1749/heavy-timers
