How do I connect Slack, Telegram, Discord or a webhook?

Notification channels are configured once per organization, then used by any monitor. Extra channels (anything beyond email) are included on the Starter plan and up.

Slack & Discord

Both use incoming webhooks:

1. In Slack or Discord, create an incoming webhook for the channel you want alerts in.
2. Copy the webhook URL.
3. In CertSentry, add a new channel of that type and paste the URL.
4. Send a test to confirm it lands.

Telegram

1. Add the CertSentry bot details (bot token) and the chat ID for the chat or group you want alerts in.
2. Send a test message to confirm the bot can post there.

Signed webhooks

Point a webhook channel at your own endpoint to route alerts anywhere — an incident tool, a serverless function, your own bot, or a PagerDuty/Opsgenie intake. Each request is signed, so your endpoint can verify it genuinely came from CertSentry before acting on it. Always verify the signature before trusting a payload.

Tips

• Add the channel once at the org level; every monitor can then use it.
• Use a dedicated channel/room for alerts so they don't get lost in chatter.
• Not receiving messages? See I didn't get an alert.
