Slack IntegrationPro

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​

1

Create a new Slack app​

  • 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).

Set up Integration on your site​

  • Go to the Webhooks section in Freeform Settings (Freeform → Settings → Webhooks)
  • Click the New Webhook button at the top right.
  • For Service Provider, select Slack.
  • Enter a name for the 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. This will be the default for new forms, but can be overrided per form inside the form builder. You can use Slack markdown here. See example code below...
  • Click the Save button.
