Configure Slack alerts

FlaskTrack posts to Slack using an incoming webhook associated with a selected Slack channel.

Create the webhook in Slack

  1. Create or select a Slack app for your workspace.
  2. Enable Incoming Webhooks.
  3. Add a new webhook to the workspace.
  4. Select the destination channel and authorize the app.
  5. Copy the generated webhook URL.

Slack webhook URLs are secrets. Anyone with the URL may be able to post to the associated channel.

Configure FlaskTrack

  1. Open the organization’s alert integration settings.
  2. Choose Slack.
  3. Paste the webhook URL.
  4. Select the enabled alert types or severity available in your deployment.
  5. Save and send a test notification.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the app remains installed in the workspace.
  • Confirm the selected channel still exists and permits the app.
  • Replace the webhook if Slack revoked or regenerated it.
  • Review FlaskTrack logs and the returned HTTP status when delivery fails.
