Projects and stages
Connect notifications to Slack
Create a Slack link, connect a channel, and test review notifications before activating them.
Reviewed on October 15, 2026
Before you start
- You must be the Aproova workspace Owner, have a plan with webhooks, and have permission to configure the destination channel.
Quick task overview
Start with these steps. If the task has more steps, they appear right below.
- Step 1
Create the link in the service. In the Slack app portal, create an app in the intended workspace. Enable Incoming Webhooks and choose Add New Webhook to Workspace. Select the channel, authorize it, and copy the Webhook URL. If Slack requires approval, ask that workspace’s administrator.
- Step 2
Set up Aproova. In Settings > Integrations, choose «Configure Slack». Name the connection and paste the link into the «Secret Slack URL» field. Choose the project and events, then save it paused. The name is only a label: the destination service determines the channel.
- Step 3
Test before activating. Send a test from the saved connection and check the message in the selected channel. Check delivery history if it does not arrive. Activate only after confirming receipt; you can pause the connection again at any time.
What should happen
The channel receives selected event notifications with a link to open the review in Aproova. Comments and decisions stay in Aproova. Files, private comments, and participants’ email addresses are not sent to the channel.
Common problems
- No setup option? Check the workspace, your Owner role, and whether the plan includes webhooks.
- Invalid URL? Use the webhook link, not the channel address or the n8n/generic webhook field. The link is secret: paste it only into the dedicated field. If exposed, replace it in the service and update the connection.
- The test arrived but notifications did not? Check that the connection is active and the project and event are selected. Events before activation are not automatically replayed.
- Slack not receiving messages? Check whether the channel was archived or the app or webhook was removed. Read the error in delivery history before creating another link.
- To follow along in the app, choose the tool in the guide at the top of Settings → Integrations. Use Next step and Open full help as needed. Moving through the guide does not connect accounts or send messages; verify the result at the destination before using it in production.
