Create the webhook in Slack

You need permission to add apps to your Slack workspace. If your workspace restricts apps, an admin may need to approve it.

1. Go to Slack’s app management page at https://api.slack.com/apps and sign in to your workspace.
2. Create a new app from scratch. Name it (for example “Alertified”) and pick your workspace.
3. In the app’s settings, open Incoming Webhooks and turn incoming webhooks on.
4. Add a new webhook to the workspace, choose the channel the alerts go to, and allow it.
5. Copy the webhook URL that Slack shows for that channel.

The URL looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0000/B0000/XXXX…. Alertified accepts URLs that start with https://hooks.slack.com/services/.

Caution

The webhook URL is all anyone needs to post into that Slack channel. Keep it to yourself.

Connect it in Alertified

1. Open Settings → Slack.
2. Under Enter your Webhook URL, paste the URL.
3. Click Connect.

The tab shows “Slack connected successfully!”, the badge changes to Connected, and the box Slack connected shows Active. Then click Send Test Message: the Slack channel receives ”✅ Alertified Test Message” and the tab shows “Test message sent to Slack!”. See Testing a channel if the test fails.

What an alert looks like

Each alert posts one message:

| Part | Example | |---|---| | Header | 🔴 Low Stock Alert | | Product | Classic Tee, with the variant M / Black below it | | Fields | Location: Main Warehouse · Current Stock: 3 · Threshold: 5 | | Button | View Product, which opens the product in your Shopify admin | | Footer | Sent by Alertified Stock Alerts |
