# Slack

You can send monitor notifications (UP/DOWN) to Slack using our Slack integration.

### Generate Slack channel webhook url

* Generate the webhook url to the channel for which you need to send Hydrozen.io notifications using one of the below methods:
  * [Use the legacy Incoming webhook app](https://slack.com/apps/A0F7XDUAZ-incoming-webhooks)
  * [Use the new Slack incoming webhook via apps](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks)
* Copy the generated webhook URL

### Create a Slack notification handler in Hydrozen.io

* Login to your Hydrozen.io dashboard. Under the **Notification handlers** tab, click on **Create notification handler**

* Now, put in the **Name** and select **Slack** as **Notification type**. Paste the previously copied Slack Webhook URL in the **Slack Webhook URL** place holder and click on **Create.**

* Add this newly created Notificaion handler to any of the monitors and you will get Up/Down notifications for that monitor in Squadcast.

That's it, you are good to go! Your Slack integration is now complete.

Whenever Hydrozen.io detects a status change of your monitors, it will post a notification on Slack.
