Description

I would like Firefly III to send notifications to the configured slack webhook url when I:

• create a new transaction manually or
• update an existing transaction.

This should be configurable via checkbox in the settings section.

Solution

This would be a nice addition to automaticly generated transaction notices where this behavior is already implemented. You would get the possibility to have a "changelog" in your desired slack-channel.
Big plus: Your family can see the transaction you've created directly in slack. (e.g. payed for lunch with cash)

What are alternatives?

Not really an alternative, but an existing behavior:
Actually only failed rule actions inform about transactions, where for example a "link_to_bill" action could not be performed because the transaction was manually linked to a bill.

No, sorry. This can be done using webhooks if you want, but you'll have to develop something yourself to translate between Firefly III data and Slack data.
