Slack Setup

MoonGuard uses laravel/slack-notification-channel  as a dependency to build Slack notifications, in case you want to send MoonGuard notifications to Slack you need a Slack Weebhook URL.

To obtain the webhook, you can create a Slack App on the Slack API site. This is a simple process that involves creating an app for your workspace:

1. Create an App from scratch. In the “Create New App” buttom press create app “From scratch”

2. Activate an incoming Webhook.

3. Add a new incoming Webhook.

4. Decide which channel to post notifications.

Once you have obtained the webhook URL, you must update the .env file of your Laravel project with the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL variable.

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/TTW2G=asdW3/B042W9dsd9L/D2D329QLMNsdi12

Finally activate the Slack channel in the MoonGuard config file.

<?php
[
  //...
  'notifications' => [
    'channels' => ['mail', 'slack'], //<-- add 'slack'
    'slack' => [
      'webhook_url' => env('SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'),
    ],
  ],
];

Note

If you're using a custom user model, it must implement the routeNotificationForSlack():string method.
