  2. A window will open, containing a link that redirects you to the Slack 'Incoming Webhooks' section.
    ​

  3. In Slack, start by creating a new app. Enter the name and any other necessary details.

  4. In the left-hand menu, select 'Incoming Webhooks' and toggle the switch on to activate them.
    ​

  5. Scroll down the same 'Incoming Webhooks' page and click 'Add New Webhook'.
    ​

  6. Set 'Channel to Post' and click 'Allow'.
    ​

  7. Slack will generate a Webhook URL. Copy this URL.
    ​

  8. Return to the UptimeRobot Dashboard and paste the copied URL into the 'Slack Webhook URL' form.
    ​

  9. (Optional step) You may set a 'Custom Value' if you want, but this is not mandatory.

  10. All types of notifications (DOWN, UP, SSL, and domain expiration) will be enabled by default, but you can alter these settings according to your needs.

  11. Click 'Create Integration'.
