Integrations
Slack Integration Pro
The Slack Webhooks integration allows you to map Freeform submission data off to Slack and post that data into a conversation or channel, etc. These are created using Slack Webhooks and Apps, and you can setup as many as you like.
Setup Instructions
- Go to the Slack App website and create a new app.
- Click the Create New App button and fill out the App Name and choose your Slack Workspace and click the Create App button.
- Then click on the Incoming Webhooks area of the page.
- On the next page, enable the toggle near the top beside Activate Incoming Webhooks title. You'll then see a new section appear below titled Webhook URLs for Your Workspace.
- Click on the Add New Webhook to Workspace button near the bottom.
- On the next page, choose which channel or conversation the submissions should be posted to, and then click Install.
- Finally, you'll be taken to a new page (under Incoming Webhooks) where you can copy the Webhook URL.
- Copy that Webhook URL and save it to your clipboard (e.g.
https://hooks.slack.com/services/GDF765GF7/56DG98GDF/GFSAD675F8DFG7854D4FDF6F).
- Go to the Webhooks section in Freeform Settings (Freeform > Settings > Webhooks)
- Click the New Webhook button at the top right.
- For Type, select Slack.
- Enter a name for the Webhook Name field.
- Paste the Slack Webhook URL you copied earlier into the Webhook URL field.
- For the Message field, enter what you want your content to look like for Slack. You can use Slack markdown here. See example code below...
- Select the form(s) you want this Webhook to apply to in the Forms field.
- At the top right corner of Freeform page, click Save button.
- Try submitting one of your forms that use this webhook, and check if Freeform posts successfully to it!
Finished!
