Adding Channels to Your Workspace

Setting Up a Webhook for Notifications

To set up a webhook for sending notifications to your Slack workspace:

  • 1: Create a Slack app, following the instructions by signing in, adding name and workspace to put the app in.

  • 2: After this, you'll be redirected to the setting pages of your new app. Choose Incoming Webhook and toggle Activate Webhook.

  • 3: Scroll down to click the option Add New Webhook to Workspace.

  • 4: The page will give you a link associated with the app you created. This link will be where API requests are sent to send messages to your Slack workspace.

  • 5: To test if the webhook works as needed, you can try sending an API request to this link to see if the message goes through. I used Postman to test this. Remember that this is an application/json file.

  • 6: Afterwards, the text channel should have a new message.
