How to Set Up Webhooks for Slack

Last updated February 26, 2026

Introduction

You can use Slack Apps to automatically post Neat Pulse notifications and alerts to a Slack Teams channel. This is a simple way to monitor device health, sign-in status, and other key events without leaving Slack.

Neat Pulse supports the Block Kit format to ensure that messages to Slack channels are properly formatted.

This guide walks you through:

  • Creating and installing a new Slack app
  • Adding a webhook trigger for incoming Pulse events

To learn how to set up a webhook for Microsoft Teams, see this article: How to Set Up Webhooks for Microsoft Teams.

Step 1. Prerequisites

To complete this setup, you’ll need:

  • A Slack workspace where you have permission to create an app
  • A Slack channel to post messages into
  • A Neat Pulse account with Owner access

Step 2. Set up Slack

  1. Ensure that you have a channel that you want your webhook messages to be posted to. If not, start by creating a new channel.
  2. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and click Create an App.
  3. When prompted, click From scratch.
  4. In the next screen, name your app and choose a Slack workspace. Click Create App.
  5. Under Features, click Incoming Webhooks. Click Add New Webhook.
  6. In the next screen, select the channel that you want to send messages to. Click Install.
  7. Once saved, copy the URL corresponding to the channel you just set up (see Figure 1).

    Your webhook is now configured both in Slack and in Neat Pulse.

    You will see the newly created rule and any associated events listed under Settings → Alerts and Events, from where you can also change the status and reconfigure.
