# slack.endpoint() function

-   Flux 0.41.0+
-   View InfluxDB support

`slack.endpoint()` returns a function that can be used to send a message to Slack per input row.

Each output row includes a `_sent` column that indicates if the message for that row was sent successfully.

### Usage

`slack.endpoint()` is a factory function that outputs another function. The output function requires a `mapFn` parameter.

#### mapFn

A function that builds the record used to generate the POST request.

`mapFn` accepts a table row (`r`) and returns a record that must include the following properties:

-   channel
-   color
-   text

##### Function type signature

```js
(
    ?token: string,
    ?url: string,
) => (
    mapFn: (r: A) => {B with text: D, color: string, channel: C},
) => (<-tables: stream[A]) => stream[{A with _sent: string}]
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

        |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with status: if r._value > 15 then "alert" else "ok"}))
