A Slack channel on a certificate alert posts to a Slack channel through an Incoming Webhook whenever the alert fires.

Step 1: Create a Slack incoming webhook

1
Go to the Slack API Apps page, select Create New App, then select From scratch.
2
Name the app, for example Infisical PKI Alerts, pick your workspace, and select Create App.
3
In the app settings, go to Incoming Webhooks and turn on Activate Incoming Webhooks.
4
Select Add New Webhook to Workspace, pick the Slack channel for alerts, and select Allow.
5
Copy the Webhook URL.
Anyone with the webhook URL can post to your Slack channel, so store it like a secret.

Step 2: Add the Slack channel to an alert

1
Create an alert in your application, or edit an existing one.
2
Select Add Channel > Slack and paste the webhook URL. The URL must start with https://hooks.slack.com.
3
Optionally, select Send test to send a test notification to the channel.
4
Select Continue, check the Review step, and select Create Alert.

Message format

Each Slack message includes the alert’s summary, up to two certificates, and a link to the application in Infisical. The message color shows the alert’s severity:
