Slack Integration

  • Getting started with Slack
  • Troubleshooting
  • I can't select my Slack channel or I am not recieiving Subscriptions

PostHog integrates with Slack to send notifications to channels of your choice via Subscriptions.

🤔 Webhooks for Events or Actions are currently configured differently. See Slack Webhooks for more info.

Getting started with Slack

🚧 For Self-hosted plans, you need to have first configured the Slack App in instance settings.

To get started, go to Project Settings and under the Slack section you will find a button to add the PostHog App to your Slack workspace of choice

Add to Slack button

You will be redirected to Slack and prompted to understand what permissions you are giving PostHog. You can select your workspace from the top-right and upon pressing Allow will be redirected back to PostHog.

Slack Oauth

With that Slack is configured for your project! You can now create a Subscription and start getting Insights delivered to your favorite channels

Troubleshooting

I can't select my Slack channel or I am not recieiving Subscriptions

In order for the PostHog Slack App to send messages to a channel it needs to be first added to it. To do this you can type /invite in the relevant channel and then select Add Apps to this channel which will then allow you to search for the PostHog app and add it.
