How to set up a Slack integration
If you're part of a team or supervising it, it can be tricky to keep track of the chart creations of your team members. That's why we offer a Slack integration for all our users, including users on a free plan.
A Slack integration will notify you in a Slack channel of your choice whenever a chart in your workspace or team is published or republished:
To set up a Slack integration, go to your workspace settings in Datawrapper and navigate to your workspace or to a specific team. Click on Integrations and then then click on the Enable Slack integration toggle:
You will be prompted to add a Webhook URL. You can learn how to get one in this Slack How-To, or you follow this guide. It's a process that involves quite some steps, but it's simple and you won't need to code.
To create the app, go to api.slack.com/apps/new and click on Create an App:








And that's it! Go to your Slack channel and you'll find that you "added an integration to this channel". Try to publish or re-publish a chart, map or table and you'll get a notification from the Slack app yu set up. The link leads you directly to a chart preview.
Congrats on your first Slack app and Webhook URL you created! If you have any remaining questions, let us know at support@datawrapper.de.
