Assuming the .qvs helper subs are used, only one line of script is needed to send a Slack message:

// -------------------------------------------
// Post messsage to Slack
// -------------------------------------------
// Post a basic message to Slack
Call PostToSlack('#general', 'Butler the Bot', '👽 Greetings, we come in peace.' , ':ghost:')

Note how emojis can be used in the message and a message specific icon can be used (":ghost:" above).
