Action Items
(No action items assigned, as this was an informational demonstration.)
Adding an Incoming Webhook to Slack Workspace
To add an incoming webhook, open Slack (web or desktop app).
Navigate to "Apps," select "Manage," then go to "Browse Apps," and open the App Directory.
Click "Build" in the top right, then "Get Started."
On the left, select "Developing Slack Apps," then "Building with Bolt," and choose a programming language (JavaScript was demonstrated).
Click to create a new Slack app from scratch, name it (e.g., "Sales Updates"), and choose the relevant workspace.
Enable the "Incoming Webhooks" feature in your app settings.
Add a new webhook to the workspace and select the desired channel (e.g., "sales-report").
Click "Allow" to authorize.
Customize alerts or automations as needed (external site mentioned: viet.com).
The process allows customized notifications and automations tied to Slack channels.
Decisions
Demonstrated use of JavaScript for webhook integration — because it is commonly used for Slack plugins.
