Incoming Webhooks Slack

Guide to setting up Incoming Webhooks on Slack

1. Log in to Slack.com via your browser.

2. After successfully logging in, create a new Workspace by clicking Create Another Workspace and naming it aws-lambda-labs.

3. In the newly created Workspace, create a new channel:

   • Name: enter notification and click Next
   • Select Public - anyone in aws-lambda-labs
   • Click Create.

4. Open a new tab in your browser and go to Slack API - Your Apps.

5. Click the Create New App button.

6. Select From scratch (or Blank app) and click Continue.

7. Fill in the application information:

   • App Name: enter Lambda-Notifier (or any name you prefer).
   • Pick a workspace to develop your app in: select the aws-lambda-labs workspace you just created.
   • Click Create App.

8. After the App is created, you will be taken to the configuration page. In the left menu column, find and click on Incoming Webhooks.

9. At the Activate Incoming Webhooks row, toggle the switch from Off to On.

10. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Add New Webhook to Workspace button.

11. Slack will ask you which channel this App should post to. Select the #notification channel created in the previous step and click Allow.

12. You will be redirected back to the previous page. Now, under the Webhook URLs for Your Workspace section, a link starting with https://hooks.slack.com/services/... will appear.
