Slack webhook setup

Create one incoming webhook and reuse it across monitors.

  1. Step 1

    Create a Slack app

    Open api.slack.com/apps and create an app for your workspace.

  2. Step 2

    Enable Incoming Webhooks

    In the app settings, enable Incoming Webhooks and add one to a channel.

  3. Step 3

    Copy the webhook URL

    Slack shows a unique URL that starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/. Keep it private.

  4. Step 4

    Paste it into DepLog.dev

    In a monitor, enable Slack alerts and paste the URL.

  5. Step 5

    Send a test and save

    Use the Slack test button, then save your monitor.

Permissions and access

  • You need permission to add apps to the workspace or channel.
  • Incoming Webhooks must be enabled for the Slack app.
  • Keep the webhook URL private because it can post to the channel.
