Sending Notifications to a Slack Channel or User

You can send any text to a Slack channel or user, including color settings and an identifying icon. You can also send JSON payloads for the Slack Web API.

Add a Slack integration
Follow instructions to create a Slack integration. You will need to set up permissions on the Slack account to enable incoming webhooks and create an incoming webhook URL to provide this integration. Write down the friendly name that you gave your integration.
