How to set up Slack webhooks using event subscriptions
November 14, 2024
This guide explains how to configure your Slack app's event subscriptions to work with Unified.to webhooks. This is a required step before you can create webhooks that listen for Slack events. Once configured, your webhooks will receive real-time notifications when specific events occur in your Slack workspace, such as when users send messages.
Before you begin
Ensure you have:
- A Slack app created in your workspace
- Access to your Slack app's configuration settings
- Your Unified.to workspace ID
- An understanding of how webhooks work in Unified.to
Configure event subscriptions in Slack
- Go to the Slack API dashboard at https://api.slack.com/apps
- Select your app from the list of available apps
- In the left sidebar, under Features, click Event Subscriptions
- Toggle the Enable Events switch to On
- In the Request URL field, enter (depending on your data center):
// US data center https://api.unified.to/webhook/workspace/slack // EU data center https://api-eu.unified.to/webhook/workspace/slack- Wait for Slack to verify the URL. You should see a green checkmark indicating successful verification.
- Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page
Once completed, you can create webhooks in Unified.to that will receive these Slack events in real-time.
