Incoming webhook to any channel. The URL is the credential — vault-stored.
Where to get it
Your own Slack workspace — create an Incoming Webhook for the target channel.
Install / what you need
No install. You need an Incoming Webhook URL from your Slack app (api.slack.com/apps).
How to connect
- 1 In Slack, create an app → enable Incoming Webhooks → add one for your channel.
- 2 Open the dashboard's Notifications panel → Add destination → choose slack, paste the webhook URL (vault-stored).
- 3 Hit Send test on the destination card.
- 4 Tune which CYCON states post to which channel in the routing matrix.
When you'd use it
What Herald sends through this channel
2 setup fields
Herald hands every alert to the
SlackAdapter
as a DispatchPlan. The fields
below are what the dashboard form asks for; the sample is the plan the adapter receives.
The adapter renders it into the channel-native shape (Discord embeds, Teams MessageCards,
PagerDuty Events-API payloads, TwiML, JSON POST bodies) on the way out — that wire transcript varies per channel.
Setup form fields
| field | type | required | description / default |
|---|---|---|---|
| webhook_url_secret_ref | string | required | Vault secret ref for Slack incoming webhook URL |
| timeout_seconds | number | optional | no description · default: 10 |

Herald — the Guild's voice role — routes alerts, daily digests, and AI verdicts here, on a per-CYCON-state matrix you control. CYCON 1/2 alerts repeat until an operator acks.
