Slack Integration
Post QR/scan notifications straight to a Slack channel using a Slack Incoming Webhook URL — no OAuth, no app install approval.
How It Works
SMLLR's Slack integration rides the same delivery pipeline as generic webhooks — it doesn't use a separate Slack App or OAuth flow. Instead, you create a Slack Incoming Webhook URL from inside Slack, paste it into SMLLR, and SMLLR posts a formatted message to that channel every time one of your chosen events happens. The URL itself is the secret — there's no signing secret or X-Smllr-Signature header to verify, so keep it private the way you would an API key.
Step 1 — Create an Incoming Webhook URL in Slack
Open Slack's Incoming Webhooks app
In Slack, go to your workspace's App Directory and search for Incoming Webhooks, or visit https://api.slack.com/apps and create a new app "from scratch" with the Incoming Webhooks feature enabled.
Activate and add to a channel
Turn on Incoming Webhooks, click Add New Webhook to Workspace, and choose the channel you want QR/scan notifications posted to.
Copy the generated URL
Slack gives you a URL that looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXXXXXX. Copy it.
Step 2 — Add It to SMLLR
Use the Test button on the endpoint to post a sample message immediately and confirm it lands in the right channel.
Open Settings → Webhooks & Slack
In your SMLLR dashboard, go to Settings → Webhooks & Slack, and click Add Endpoint.
Switch to Slack mode
Select Slack in the endpoint-type toggle, and paste the Incoming Webhook URL from Step 1.
Pick your events and save
Choose which events should post to this channel, then click Save. No secret is generated for Slack endpoints — there's nothing further to copy.
