How do I configure Slack Webhook notifications?

This guide walks you through setting up Slack Webhook notifications in your Canary Console, enabling real-time alerts in your chosen Slack channel for immediate response to potential security incidents.

Canary supports outgoing Webhooks from your Console to an endpoint of your choice. This event-driven approach means you get your alerts in real-time! We support your favourite apps, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, as well as support for Generic Webhooks.

You also have the ability to manage alerts from your Slack Channel — see guide here.
