Website change alerts in Slack
Send website change alerts to the Slack channel where your team reviews them. The existing integration uses a Slack incoming webhook, and you can scope it to one monitor or all of your monitors.

Create a webhook for the right channel
In Slack, create or open an app for your workspace, enable Incoming Webhooks, then add a webhook and authorize its destination channel. Your workspace may require an administrator’s approval. Copy the webhook URL and keep it private: it allows messages to be posted to that channel.
Connect it in your account
Open Settings → Integrations. Select Slack, enter a label and paste the webhook URL. Choose either all monitors or one monitor as the scope, then add the integration. You can disable or remove it later from the same screen.
Keep team alerts useful
Start with a channel and monitor scope that match the people who need to act. Use the integration’s Test button to confirm the destination before relying on it. Review the explanation and source link when a change arrives; an alert is an invitation to check the evidence, not an automatic business decision.

Set it up
- Create an incoming webhook in Slack for the intended channel.
- In your account, open Settings → Integrations and select Slack.
- Add a label, webhook URL and monitor scope, then save the integration.
- Use Test to verify delivery to your channel. Keep the integration enabled for future alerts.
What to expect
Slack delivery depends on a valid webhook, workspace permissions and Slack availability. Removing the app or revoking its webhook stops delivery. Never put the webhook URL in a public page, screenshot or support discussion; replace it in Slack if exposed.
