Throw Powershell commands via Webhook to your Slack Channel !

Hello friends!

There is a simple way to pass commands to your slack channel via Webhook API combined with PowerShell and JSON converter 🙂

Sounds complicated? A few lines of code do the trick

#Using out-string just to display on Channel line by line if you want | out-string 
$ad = Get-ADUser USERNAMEHERE -Properties * | Select-Object DisplayName,LockedOut,SamaccountName,UserPrincipalName,Co

# Using Slack format with commas
$ad = '```' + ($ad | Format-Table | Out-String) + '```'

Set-StrictMode -Version Latest

$payload = @{
	"channel" = "#yourslackchannel"
	"icon_emoji" = "emojiifyouwant"
	"text" = "This is the query you asked me to run :justdoit: : $ad"
	"username" = "NAME"
}

Invoke-WebRequest `
	-Body (ConvertTo-Json -Compress -InputObject $payload) `
    -Method Post `
	-Uri "YOURWEBHOOKURL" | Out-Null

How cool is that ? We can create a whole quantity of easy automation & reports using that !
