Having those handy notifications on changes directly in Slack enhances productivity!
On your machine running trac, add a slack user and save tracslack.py in his $HOME.
Edit the .forward file of this user with this content:
|/home/slack/tracslack.py
Finally, adjust your trac.ini and add the local slack user as an smtp_always_cc option.
[notification]
smtp_always_cc = slack@localhost
You need to setup an "Incoming Webhook" inside Slack. Afterwards set the SLACK_URL and SLACK_TOKEN inside tracslack.py:
SLACK_URL="https://yourcompany.slack.com/services/hooks/incoming-webhook"
SLACK_TOKEN="ABc293jBlPyktTIasdagasd"
Additionally, you can adjust the channel, username and even the emoji of the trac messages:
SLACK_CHANNEL="#trac"
SLACK_USERNAME="trac"
SLACK_EMOJI=":rocket:"

If you like those scripts, have a look at my startup Usersnap. And yes, Usersnap has a very nice Trac Integration, too.
