Create a Slack app in your Slack account

1. Create a new channel or find a channel where you’d like to deliver Prequel webhook events.
2. Navigate to the Create App flow in your browser and click “From scratch”.
3. Create a name, for example “Prequel Webhook Notification App”, and pick your workspace where you’d like to send the events. Click “Create App”.

1. In the Features and functionality section, select Incoming webhooks. Turn “Activate Incoming Webhooks” to the “On” position. At the bottom of the menu, under “Generate a Webhook URL for your Workspace”, click “Add New Webhook to Workspace”. In the following prompt, select the channel where you’d like to receive notifications and click “Allow”.
2. Record the generated URL. It should look like https://hooks.slack.com/services/W098X7YZZ6/A12BC34DEFG/AbCdEfgHIjklM12no3PqrSTU.

Add your Slack web request URL as your webhook target

1. Using your Prequel API key and Webhook URL, subscribe to the events you’d like to post to your selected Slack channel destination. You can find the API documentation here (or POST the request using the interactive request builder): Create webhook

curl --request POST \
     --url https://<prequel_host>/webhooks \
     --header 'X-API-KEY: <api_key>' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
