• In the left navigation bar, choose “Configure apps”
  • This will open a new browser tab/windor titled Apps.
• From the left navigation menu, choose Custom Integrations
• You should have something titled “Incoming Webhooks”. If not, you’ll need to install/enable it first
• Click “Incoming Webhooks”
• On the left, click “Add Configuration”
• In the Post to Channel box, you’ll be asked to choose a default channel to post to. Pick a channel and then click Add Incoming WebHooks integration

  • Copy the entire Webhook URL, and save it somewhere.
• Find the Customize Name field and enter something like “StatsLab Integration”. You can also change other things like the Descriptive Label and Customize the icon. A preview message updates with any changes.

Configure StatsLab to Send to Slack

In StatsLab:
