  4. In the app settings sidebar, go to Incoming Webhooks and toggle Activate Incoming Webhooks to On
  5. Click "Add New Webhook to Workspace"
  6. Select the channel where you want notifications to appear and click Allow
  7. Copy the generated webhook URL — it will look like: 
    https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
