How do I connect Slack?

Slack support uses Incoming Webhooks — the simplest path. No OAuth, no token storage on our side, no app to install in your workspace beyond the webhook itself.

The 30-second setup

1. In Slack, open your workspace settings → Apps → Manage → Custom Integrations → Incoming Webhooks (or visit api.slack.com/apps and create a new app) 2. Pick the channel you want BetterUs to post to 3. Copy the webhook URL — it starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/... 4. In BetterUs, go to /admin/integrations/slack and paste the URL 5. We auto-fire a test message so you know it's connected

What gets posted

• Recognitions (default on) — every recognition the pack sends
• Wolf Mode changes (default on) — when an admin sets the weekly pillar
• Pulses (default off, opt-in) — when a leader fires a pulse

You can toggle each independently, and disconnecting wipes the URL from your browser instantly.

Privacy

Webhook URLs include a secret slug — they're effectively API tokens for posting to one specific channel. We treat them like passwords: never logged, never sent to analytics. The URL is stored in your browser's localStorage, scoped to your workspace.
