Slack Integration

Receive service status notifications in your Slack workspace

Get instant notifications in your Slack workspace when monitored services experience issues. Perfect for keeping your team informed in real-time with collaborative incident response.

Overview

Statusfield supports two types of Slack integration:

OAuth Channels (Recommended) - Connect your Slack workspace and select channels from a list
Incoming Webhooks - Use Slack webhook URLs for simple one-way notifications

Which Method Should I Use?

OAuth is recommended for most users - it's easier to set up, more reliable, and allows you to pick channels from a list. Use webhooks only if you need to send notifications to external Slack workspaces you don't control.

Quick Start: OAuth Channels

Connect Your Slack Workspace

Go to statusfield.com/integrations
Click the Slack card
Click Connect Slack button
Select your Slack workspace
Click Allow to grant Statusfield permissions

Permissions

Statusfield requests permission to:

View channel names and topics
Post messages to channels you select
No access to message history or DMs

Add a Channel

After connecting:

Click Add Slack Integration button in the manage drawer
Select "Add Channel" option
Select desired channel from the list
Click Add Channel button
You can edit the channel name later in the manage drawer

You can add multiple channels and configure each one independently.

Test It Out

Click the menu (⋮) next to your Slack integration
Select Test Notification
Check that the test message appears in your Slack channel

Configure Notifications

When adding a monitor for a service:

Go to statusfield.com/notifications
Find the service in the list
Configure when you want to receive notifications (status by column)

On any status change
On maintenance status
On degraded status
On major outage status
On partial outage status

All statuses will notify you when the component went back to operational status.

Quick Start: Slack Webhooks

Create a Slack Webhook

In your Slack workspace:

Go to https://api.slack.com/apps

Copy the webhook URL (starts with https://hooks.slack.com/...)

Add Webhook to Statusfield

Go to statusfield.com/integrations
Click the Slack card
Click Add Slack Integration button
Select "Slack Webhook" option
