Slack alerts

Receive pull request alerts in your Slack server

You can configure a Slack Webhook URL in your organization dashboard which will receive any new or updated pull request notifications generated by the Socket Organization's associated GitHub app installation.

Configuring a Slack Webhook

After you have installed the Socket GitHub app and logged into your Socket Organization's dashboard, follow these steps to configure this feature:

  1. Create a Webhook URL on your Slack server that will post messages to the desired slack channel. Follow the instructions on the Slack docs here: https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks
  2. Visit the Organization's settings page. The URL to this page follows this URL pattern: https://socket.dev/dashboard/org/gh/{OrgName}/settings/general
  3. Enter the Slack webhook URL generated in step 1 into the Slack Webhook settings section:
