To set up notifications specific to each device, please see our article on Setting Up Device Notifications

TelemetryTV supports Slack notifications about device status using incoming WebHook functionality. Once set up, the Slack channel of your choice will receive automated communications about device failure in real time.

Option 1: will walk users through how to obtain a Slack specific WebHook that can be pasted into the TelemetryTV App.

Option 2: Will walk user's through how to paste other WebHook URL's into the TelemetryTV App to receive communications in other apps

1. Open slack and click on the dropdown menu in the workspace that you would like to pair with incoming WebHooks. For example: Under the "Telemetry" workspace, scroll down and select the "Apps" tab.

2. In the search bar on the "Apps" page, search for "Incoming WebHooks" and click "Add"

3. A browser window will open with your workspace channels. Configure the channels that you want the incoming Slack-WebHooks communications to be sent to by clicking the edit button.

4. The next step is to obtain a URL that can be pasted into the TelemetryTV app to allow communications about device failures to be communicated. Don't forget to include a naming convention for your Slack-WebHook message bot to make sure other Slack users in your channel are aware of where the notifications are coming from.

Please Note: The "Regenerate" button will create a new, unique URL. If your TelemetryTV account already has an existing URL for WebHook connectivity, it will have to be replaced with the new, regenerated URL.

5. After you have obtained a WebHook URL and copied it to your clipboard, Go into your settings tab in your TelemetryTV account. Click on "Notifications" in the bottom left corner then "Add Method" in the top right as depicted below.

6. Next, select the "SLACK" option from the dropdown menu and paste the URL from your clipboard.

Optional: Users can input the hours at which they want to be notified by toggling the "Only sending notifications during specified times" and specify the times in the boxes below in a 24 hour format

Afterwards, any device failures will be sent to your slack account in the channels you configured!

1. Similarly to option 1, obtain a WebHook URL from an app that they want communications sent to.

2. After you have obtained a WebHook URL and copied it to your clipboard, Go into your settings tab in your TelemetryTV account. Click on "Notifications" in the bottom left corner then "Add Method" in the top right as depicted below.

3. Next, select the "webhook" option from the dropdown menu and paste the URL into the "Destination" box

Optional: Users can input the hours at which they want to be notified by toggling the "Only sending notifications during specified times" and specify the times in the boxes below in a 24 hour format
