Planka Notifications

A minimal webhook server that bridges Planka's notification system with Slack.

Philosophy

Planka is a great kanban tool, but its notifications are limited to the web interface.

The goal is simple: when something happens on a card, the right people get notified in the right place with the right context.

How It Works

Cards with notify in their description trigger Slack messages. You can notify channels (&shared, #general) and users (@john) in natural language:

notify &team-alpha @john please notify #general &urgent notification: @admin

Setup

  1. Copy config.js.example to config.js
  2. Configure your Slack app:
    • Create a new Slack app at https://api.slack.com/apps
    • Add OAuth scope: chat:write.public (allows posting to any public channel)
    • Install the app to your workspace to get a Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-)
    • Copy the Bot Token to config.js
    • Optional: Create a #planka-bot-logs channel and invite your bot for error logging
  3. Configure Planka to send webhooks to your server
  4. Add notify strings to card descriptions

That's it. No complex integrations, no external dependencies—just a simple bridge between two systems that should talk to each other.

The Result

Instead of needing to check Planka itself, your team gets contextual updates in Slack:

  • 🆕 New cards appear with board/list context
  • ✏️ Updates show what changed and by whom
  • 📤 Card moves track workflow progress
  • 💬 Comments include the full conversation
