Slack incoming webhooks

Incoming webhooks are a simple way to post messages from external sources into Slack. They make use of normal HTTP requests with a JSON payload, which includes the message and a few other optional details. You can include message attachments to display richly-formatted messages.

Adding incoming webhooks requires a bot user. If your app doesn’t have a bot user, we’ll add one for you.

Each time your app is installed, a new Webhook URL will be generated.

Webhook URLs for Your Workspace

To dispatch messages with your webhook URL, send your message in JSON as the body of an application/json POST request.

Add this webhook to your workspace below to activate this curl example.

Sample curl request to post to a channel:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"Hello, World!"}' https://hooks.slack.com/services/T6CK3X/B0CdXJC10/Xj4YlqRZ8S4Q5O0SNJN
