You will be directed to the Incoming Webhooks page. Here you can choose your slack channel wherein your Incoming Webhooks will post messages coming from Retrace. Once you are done with the channel assignment, click on the Add Incoming Webhook Integrations button.

Webhook URL

Again, you will be directed to the next page wherein you will see a Webhook URL as shown below. Copy the URL and go back to the Webhook URL page under the Settings tab in Retrace.

Adding Slack to a Notification Group

Slack can be added to any Notification Group from the Contacts tab, just like a User or a Contact. Go back to the Settings tab and click on the Notification Groups.

For example, in this page, click on the Client Support notification group name.

Click on the Contacts tab and under App Integrations, you can see that Retrace offers multiple Slack App Integrations. Next, click on the Slack button.

In here, you can configure the types of alerts that will send notifications and what kind of notifications to send into your Slack channel.

You can now go back to the Webhook URL page and test the integration. Click on the Test tab and a successful notification will pop up. Since, Retrace is capable of accepting multiple Webhook URLs, you can also remove a URL based on your prefence by using the Remove button.

Once you have properly configured the Slack integration, you will see incoming Stackify alerts in the Slack app.

By clicking on the View in Stackify for a particular alert, you will be able to examine the details of the alert in the Retrace portal as shown below.
