Slack Integration

GLHF sends notifications to a Slack channel via an incoming webhook. This is intended for researchers to stay informed about study activity, not for participant communication.

Setup​

1. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook​

  1. Go to your Slack workspace's app management
  2. Create a new app (or use an existing one)
  3. Enable Incoming Webhooks
  4. Add a webhook to the channel where you want notifications

2. Configure​

Add the webhook URL to the backend .env:

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../...

Notification Events​

The backend sends Slack notifications for key study events such as participant sign-ups and study milestones. If SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is not set, notifications are silently skipped.
