Slack integration
Post task-timer events (start / stop) to a Slack channel via Incoming Webhook.
Method A — Incoming Webhook (Slack app)
- Open Slack apps & click Create New App → From scratch.
- Pick the workspace, name it
PMS Notifier(or anything). - Sidebar → Incoming Webhooks → toggle On.
- Click Add New Webhook to Workspace, choose
#production-task-updates. - Copy the URL (starts with
https://hooks.slack.com/services/…) and paste it above.
Free Slack workspaces are capped at 10 installed apps. If you hit the limit, use Method B below — it doesn't count.
Method B — Workflow Builder webhook Recommended for free plans
- In Slack, click your workspace name → Tools & settings → Workflow Builder.
- + New Workflow → Build Workflow.
- Choose From a webhook as the trigger.
- Click Set up variables → add one variable named exactly
text, type Text. Click Done. - Add a step → Send a message. Channel =
#production-task-updates. Message body: insert thetextvariable. Save. - Click Finish Up → Publish. Slack shows the webhook URL (starts with
https://hooks.slack.com/triggers/…) — copy & paste it above.
Both methods send to exactly one channel. For multiple channels, create multiple webhooks (currently the integration uses one).
