Getting Started

  1. Create Slack App: Visit the Slack API Dashboard and create a new App for your workspace.
  2. Setup Incoming Webhooks: Enable Incoming Webhooks in your Slack App settings and create a webhook for the target channel. Follow the official Slack guide here.
  3. Configure Plugin: Copy the Webhook URL into the plugin settings under the Webhooks tab.
  4. Test Connection: Use the "Send Test Message" button to verify your integration is working correctly.

Advanced Mentions

To use @mentions in Slack, you need the Slack Member ID (e.g., U12345678). You can find this in a user's Slack profile. Use the format <@U12345678> in your message templates to trigger a notification for that specific user.

Troubleshooting

  • Messages not arriving: Check the Logs tab in the plugin settings. Most issues are caused by invalid Webhook URLs or Slack App permission restrictions.
  • Formatting Issues: Slack uses its own "mrkdwn" format. Ensure you are using the correct syntax for bold (*text*), italics (_text_), and links.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Can I send notifications to multiple channels?

A.

Yes. The Pro version supports an unlimited number of webhooks and channel mapping rules.

Q.Does it support WooCommerce Subscriptions?

A.

Yes, we have built-in triggers for subscription renewals, cancellations, and payment failures.

Q.Can I customize the message content per product?

A.

Absolutely. You can define global templates or override them at the product level for specific promotions or high-value items.

No. We use an asynchronous queue system. When an order happens, we log the task and a background process handles the Slack API call separate from the user's browser session.

A.

Open the person's profile in Slack, click the three dots (More), and select "Copy member ID."
