Sending alerts to Slack or Discord

Both apps work the same way. You create a special link, called a webhook, that lets OffAlerts post messages into one channel. Then you paste that link into OffAlerts.

Slack

1. In Slack, create an incoming webhook for the channel that should receive alerts. Slack’s own help covers this under “Sending messages using incoming webhooks”.
2. Copy the webhook URL. It starts with https://hooks.slack.com/.
3. In OffAlerts, open app.offalerts.com/notification-handler-create, choose Slack, paste the URL and save.

Discord

1. In Discord, open the channel’s settings, go to Integrations, then Webhooks, and create a webhook.
2. Copy the webhook URL.
3. In OffAlerts, open app.offalerts.com/notification-handler-create, choose Discord, paste the URL and save.

Then attach it

Edit each monitor that should alert this channel and select it under notifications.

Treat the link like a password

Anyone who has the webhook link can post into that channel. If one leaks, delete the webhook in Slack or Discord and create a new one.
