Before you begin

  3. Select the channel where you want CloudAIPilot notifications to appear (e.g., #devops-alerts).
  4. Click Add Incoming Webhooks Integration.
  5. Copy the Webhook URL — it looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../....

Alternatively:

  1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and create a new app.

  5. Click Add Channel.
  6. Click Test to send a test message to your Slack channel. Verify it appears.

  2. Click the ... (more options) next to the channel name → Connectors.
  3. Find Incoming Webhook and click Configure.
  4. Give the webhook a name (e.g., "CloudAIPilot Alerts") and optionally upload an icon.

Discord setup

Step 1: Create a Discord webhook

  2. Click the gear icon (channel settings) next to the channel name.
  3. Select Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook.
  4. Give it a name (e.g., "CloudAIPilot") and optionally change the avatar.
  5. Click Copy Webhook URL — it looks like https://discord.com/api/webhooks/....

Custom Webhook setup

For any other service (PagerDuty custom integration, your own API, etc.):

  1. Select Webhook as the channel type.
  2. Enter the destination URL.
  3. Optionally enter a Secret — CloudAIPilot will sign all payloads with HMAC-SHA256 using this secret. Verify the signature on your server to confirm authenticity.
  4. CloudAIPilot sends a JSON payload to your URL for each event.

What success looks like

  • After clicking Test, a test message appears in your Slack channel, Teams channel, or Discord channel within a few seconds.
  • The channel status updates to Verified.

Common errors and fixes

"Test shows success but no message appeared in the channel" Cause (Slack): The webhook may have been deleted in Slack after you copied the URL. Fix: Create a new webhook in Slack and update the URL in CloudAIPilot.

Cause (Teams): The connector may have expired. Teams connectors can be disabled by Microsoft after inactivity. Fix: Re-create the connector in Teams and update the URL in CloudAIPilot.

"Test shows an error — 'Invalid webhook URL'" Fix: Verify the URL is correctly copied with no extra spaces or characters. The URL must start with https://.

"I want notifications in multiple Slack channels" Fix: Add multiple Slack channels — one per webhook URL. Each channel is independent.
