Step 1 Introduction

⬢In the following steps, we will set up Prusa Connect to send notifications to your Slack messaging app.

⬢Slack is a collaboration and messaging platform that can be downloaded for free at https://slack.com/ and runs on all major computer and phone platforms.

⬢If you’re new to Slack; sign up, create and set up a workspace first. You can do so at Slack.com.

Step 2 Slack channel setup

⬢To get started, we need to select a channel where the notifications will be sent.

⬢If you've recently started using Slack and created a new workspace, a channel has also been automatically created.

⬢If you have been using Slack already, you have the option to either use an existing channel or create a new one.

⬢To create a new channel, navigate to the left menu, click More > Your organization > Channels

⬢Then, hit Create a channel and proceed to set it up.

Step 3 Creating a Slack App

⬢

Visit https://api.slack.com/apps

and select Create an App.

⬢Select From scratch.

⬢

Add a name for your new App,

select your workspace and hit Create App.

Step 4 Creating a webhook

⬢On the Basic Information page, open Incoming Webhooks

⬢Turn the Activate Incoming Webhooks option to ON

⬢Select Add New Webhook to Workspace

For more info about the Webhooks, visit: https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks

Step 5 Configuring the webhook

⬢Select a channel you wish to receive the notifications to.

⬢Click Allow.

⬢Copy the newly created webhook URL to your clipboard.

Step 6 Prusa Connect settings

⬢Visit Connect.Prusa3D.com site and make sure you’re logged in.

⬢Click the Notifications (Bell icon) in the top-right corner and go to Settings.

⬢In the Channels setup section, select Slack tab.

⬢Paste the Webhook URL from the clipboard into the Endpoint URL window.

⬢Click Save new.

⬢After saving, a checkmark on the left should appear, and the initial test notification will be sent to confirm its functionality.

Step 7 Setting up Notification types

⬢In the Notification settings, select all the notification types you want to receive on your Slack app.

⬢Congratulations! You should now start receiving notifications about the ongoing prints through Slack.
