Connect Slack

Connect your Slack workspace to InfraNest so alerts about incidents, expiries and status changes show up right where your team is already talking.

Overview

• Posts InfraNest alerts directly into a Slack channel of your choice
• Keeps everyone in the loop without checking a separate dashboard
• Uses a Slack incoming webhook, so no complicated setup is needed
• You can connect multiple Slack channels as separate destinations if different teams need different alerts

Get a webhook URL from Slack

1. In Slack, add an Incoming Webhooks app to your workspace (or open the existing one if you already have it).
2. Choose the channel you want alerts posted to — this could be your Slack channel for on-call updates, for example.
3. Copy the Slack webhook URL. Treat this like a password — anyone with it can post messages to that channel.

Connect Slack in InfraNest

1. Go to Alerts, then open Destinations.
2. Select Connect a new destination (or Add channel if you're adding another one).
3. Choose Slack from the list, or select Post alerts to a Slack channel.
4. Paste your Slack webhook URL into the Slack webhook URL field.
5. Give it a name in Channel name so you can recognize it later.
6. Select Send test message (or Save & test) to confirm the message lands in the right Slack channel.
7. If the test succeeds, select Save to finish. If you'd rather skip the check, choose Skip test and save.

Send alerts to Slack

1. Once your Slack destination is saved, go to the alert or event type you want to route — for example Monitor down, Domain expiry warning, or SSL expiry critical.
2. Under Notify me when…, choose your Slack destination as the place to send that alert.
3. Decide whether it should receive All events or Critical only.
4. Save your changes.

NoteThe webhook URL is stored securely and isn't shown again after you save it. If you need to change it, open Edit channel and paste in a new one.

TipEach Slack destination posts to a single channel. If different teams need different alerts, connect a separate destination for each channel.

Troubleshooting

• Test failed — double-check you copied the full Slack webhook URL and that the Slack app still has access to the channel.
• No messages arriving — confirm the destination shows Webhook configured and that it's selected under Notify me when… for the alerts you expect.
• Wrong channel — the webhook URL is tied to one specific Slack channel; you'll need a new webhook URL from Slack if you want alerts somewhere else.
