Slack Notifications

Use a Slack incoming webhook to post Citlyze alerts and scheduled reports into a Slack channel.

Option A: Create an incoming webhook directly

1. In Slack, open the workspace where the notification should appear.
2. Create or choose an app that has incoming webhooks enabled.
3. Add a new incoming webhook for the channel.
4. Copy the webhook URL. It should start with https://hooks.slack.com/.
5. In Citlyze, open Workspace Settings.
6. In Notification webhooks, paste the URL in the Slack row.
7. Select Save.

The saved URL is encrypted. Citlyze only shows a short hint such as hooks.slack.com/.../T000... after it is saved.

Option B: Import the Citlyze Slack manifest

1. Download slack-app-manifest.json.
2. Go to api.slack.com/apps.
3. Select Create New App.
4. Choose From an app manifest.
5. Import the downloaded manifest.
6. Install the app to your workspace.
7. Create or copy the generated incoming webhook URL.
8. In Citlyze, open Workspace Settings.
9. In Notification webhooks, paste the URL in the Slack row.
10. Select Save.

The manifest does not create a Citlyze-owned credential. Slack still requires you to install the app in your workspace and copy the webhook URL.

Test the setup

Trigger an alert or wait for the next scheduled report. The Slack channel should receive a compact Citlyze message with key metrics and a link back to the relevant dashboard or report.
