Slack

Deliver downtime alerts, security findings, and cost recommendations directly to Slack channels.

What you'll receive

🔴 Downtime alerts — monitor down/up with response time and locations
🛡️ Security alerts — new CVE matches, SSL expiry warnings
💡 Cost recommendations — monthly savings opportunities
👥 Team events — member invited, role changed

Setup

Create a Slack Incoming Webhook

Go to api.slack.com/apps (opens in a new tab)
Click Create New App → From Scratch
Enter a name (SecureCheap Alerts) and pick your workspace
Click Incoming Webhooks → Activate Incoming Webhooks
Click Add New Webhook to Workspace
Choose the channel to post to (e.g. #alerts, #infrastructure)
Click Allow

Copy the Webhook URL — it looks like:

https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Add the webhook in SecureCheap

Go to Integrations → + Add → Slack
Paste the Webhook URL
Choose which alert types to send (all enabled by default)
Click Save & Test

Confirm the test message

A test message appears in your chosen Slack channel:

✅ SecureCheap connected to this channel.

Routing alerts to different channels

You can add multiple Slack integrations with different webhooks:

Webhook	Alert types
`#critical-alerts`	Downtime, security critical
`#cost-reports`	Cost recommendations
`#security`	CVE matches, SSL expiry
`#devops`	All alert types

Slack does not support muting or snoozing via webhook. Use Maintenance Windows in SecureCheap to silence alerts during deployments.
