I need a bit of help as I couldn't find an answear on the open topics related to how exactly to send the powershell results to a slack channel.

For a bit of context, I'm remoting to a server trying to get different information like read some files or status of services and instead of sending an email with the resutls I thought it will be good to post the results directly to a slack channel.

I tried the following simple command, but I'm missing something on how posting to slack channel via webhook app works.

$Results = Get-Service Service* -ComputerName 
Send-SlackMessage -Uri <webhook URI> -Text $Results

The above scripts doesn't work unfortunatlly. Would you be able to help me understand how exactly the slack message function should be setup in orde to send the results from powershell to the slack channel?

Thank you! M

Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x Please Note In Windows 7.2 the Get-Service command made use of DCOM and such functionality like '-ComputerName' is removed.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/differences-from-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7#remove--computername-from--service-cmdlets-5090

$server = $env:Computername
Invoke-Command -Computername $server -Scriptblock {Get-Service | where status -eq 'started;}
