With Checks' Slack integration, your Checks account can post to your Slack
workspace in response to events, like when a report completes or new activity is
detected in one of your apps.
Set up an Incoming Webhook in Slack
Before you set up the integration in Checks, you have to add an Incoming Webhook
in Slack to handle communications from Checks.
For more help, see Slack's
Getting Started with Incoming Webhooks guide.
1. Create a Slack App
- Go to https://api.slack.com/apps
and click Create New App.
- Pick an App Name. We recommend naming the app
Checks.
- Select your workspace.
- Click Create App.

Click Incoming Webhooks feature in the side navigation and toggle
Activate Incoming Webhooks.
3. Create an Incoming Webhook
Click the Add New Webhook to Workspace button. Pick a channel to post to and
click Allow.
4. Copy Webhook URL
Once the Webhook has been created, copy the URL. You will paste this into Checks
later.
Enable Slack integration in Checks
Once you've set up the appropriate webhook, you're ready to set up the
integration in Checks:
In the
Checks console, click
the cog button 
to open the Settings page.
Scroll to Slack webhooks and click the Add webhook button.
Paste the Webhook URL from your Slack settings page to the Webhook URL
field.
Enter a Display name. We recommend making this your Slack channel name.
Click Save and close the dialog.
To test the integration, click the vertical ellipse button
to open the overflow
menu for the webhook and click Send test message. If all goes well, you will
receive a test notification in Slack.
That's it! You will now receive notifications to your Slack workspace.
