Expira posts alerts to a Slack channel through a Slack incoming webhook. Each message names the asset, says how long is left, and has a View in dashboard button.

​
Create the webhook in Slack

1

Create a Slack app

Go to api.slack.com/apps, press Create New App → From scratch, name it (for example “Expira”) and pick your workspace.
2

Turn on incoming webhooks

Open Incoming Webhooks and switch Activate Incoming Webhooks on.
3

Add a webhook to a channel

Press Add New Webhook to Workspace, choose the channel for alerts and allow it. Copy the webhook URL. It starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/.

​
Connect it in Expira

  1. Go to Alerts → Delivery and open Personal or a team’s tab.
  2. Under Delivery channels, press Connect on Slack.
  3. Enter a Name so you can recognise it, such as “#alerts — Engineering”, and paste the Webhook URL.
  4. Save, then press Test. A sample alert marked as a test appears in the channel.
  5. Under Alert preferences, tick Slack under Via and press Save preferences.
The webhook URL is stored encrypted and never shown again. To change it, press Edit and paste a new one.
Asset names are escaped, so a name containing @channel or a link can’t ping your channel or add links to the message.
