SqlBackupAndFTP can send notifications to Slack through an incoming webhook. To configure this channel, you need the incoming webhook URL.

Where to Get the Webhook URL

To send notifications to Slack, you need to obtain the webhook URL:

1. Open Slack and go to the channel that should receive notifications.
2. Right-click the channel name and select View channel details to open the channel settings window. Then open the Integrations tab and click Add an App.

3. In the window that opens, find Incoming WebHooks and select that app.

4. Click Configuration to open the webhook setup page.

5. Click Add to Slack to start the setup.

6. On the page that opens, in the Post to Channel section, select the required channel and click Add Incoming WebHooks Integration.

7. After that, Slack will display your WebHook URL. Copy it for use in the application.

8. Paste this URL into the application settings and click Test.

Practical Notes

• It is better to name the channel based on its purpose rather than simply calling it Slack, so it is easier to distinguish channels later.
• If a Slack channel is used only for incidents, it is usually enough to enable only On Failure.
