Slack integration

Slack notifications post to a channel via an incoming webhook.

Create the Slack webhook

1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and create a new app.
2. Open Incoming Webhooks and turn the feature on.
3. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace and pick the channel.
4. Copy the webhook URL (starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/).

Add the notification in Checkmate

1. Open Notifications in the sidebar.
2. Click Create notification.
3. Pick Slack as the type.
4. Give it a name and paste the webhook URL in the Address field.
5. Click Test to post a sample message, then Save.

Attach the notification to a monitor from the monitor's configure screen. Checkmate posts to Slack when the monitor goes down, recovers, or breaches a hardware threshold.
