Slack Integration

Buildnote integrates with Slack to send notifications for test failures, build failures, and other events. You can connect via direct app installation or by configuring a webhook on an existing Slack app in your organization.

Slack App

Direct app installation is the fastest integration method if your Slack user has sufficient permissions.

Step 1. Connect Slack App Integration

Navigate to Settings > Integrations in Buildnote and select Slack App.

Step 2. Authorize App

Click Connect to be redirected to Slack for login and authorization of the Buildnote Slack application. Slack shows the permissions the app requests, with the destination workspace in the top-right corner and a picker for the channel that will receive notifications. Press Allow.

Step 3. Integration Connected

After successful authorization, you'll be redirected back to Buildnote and the Slack App card appears in the Connected section of the integrations page.

The Slack App integration is now configured and will send notifications.

Slack Webhook

Use webhook integration when you lack permissions to authorize apps in your organization but can configure webhooks on existing Slack apps.

Step 1. Create New Slack App

Create a new app at https://api.slack.com/apps.

Step 2. Create Webhook

In your Slack app's settings, open Incoming Webhooks, switch on Activate Incoming Webhooks, and press Add New Webhook to Workspace.

Slack asks which channel the webhook may post to; pick the channel and press Allow.

The new webhook appears in the Webhook URLs for Your Workspace list. Copy its Webhook URL.

Step 3. Connect Slack Webhook Integration

Navigate to Settings > Integrations in Buildnote and select Slack Webhook.

Step 4. Configure Integration

Enter your Slack webhook details into the Buildnote Slack Webhook integration form.

Step 5. Integration Connected

The Slack Webhook integration is now active and will send notifications.
