# Create a Slack Webhook URL

*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V2.x*

Slack webhooks allow the Publisher to send publishing notifications to a specific Slack channel. Notifications can be sent after each product is processed or as a single summary message at the end of a publishing synchronization, depending on the webhook configuration.

To configure a Slack webhook URL:

1. Navigate to <https://api.slack.com/apps> and and sign in to your Slack account.&#x20;
2. Select **Create an App** or **Create New App** if you have already created apps previously. Depending on your Slack configuration, you may need to be a workspace owner or have permission to create apps.

3. Select From scratch.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/administration/alerts/webhook-notifications/create-a-slack-webhook-url.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
