Slack

Using a Slack Webhook, you can configure EM to send events or incidents data directly into a Slack channel.

Add a Slack Notification Method:

  1. Get the Slack channel’s incoming Webhook URL.

    Note:

    You must be the workspace owner to get the incoming webhook URL.
  2. Click Add Notification Method in the Webhooks and Slack page.
  3. Select from the drop-down list to what you want the notification method to apply (Incidents or Events), and click Slack:
    • Incidents
      add a slack webhook for incidents

    • Events
      add a slack webhook for events

  4. Enter a name and description for your notification method.
  5. Enter the Slack channel’s incoming Webhook URL, and optionally other connection details.

    Note:

    Make sure the Slack channel’s incoming Webhook URL is in the https://hooks.slack.com/services/... format.

  6. Optionally, modify the Slack Payload. You can see the available payload variables by opening the Payload variable list on the right.
  7. Click Create.
