Details

This delivery method sends the alert information to a channel in your Slack workspace. In order to deliver the alert to Slack, you need to create an Incoming Webhook in your Slack workspace. Once you have the Webhook URL, you can create the delivery method.

You can find below the information required on the New Delivery Method window for this delivery method (for the creation process visit Manage delivery methods).

Channel

Enter the name of the channel set when you created the webhook. Alternatively, you can enter the name of a different channel to override the one set when you created the webhook. The alternate channel must exist within the same Slack workspace.

Webhook URL

Activation

The new method is saved in Pending status.

A validation code will be automatically posted on the associated channel in Slack. Copy the activation code and then return to the newly created delivery method in Devo.
