Slack integration

Q: Is the Slack integration available now?

Not yet — it is in active development. Add your email below and we will notify you the moment it ships.

Q: Will it be noisy?

No. You control which severities post where, and lower-severity findings can be batched into a digest instead of pinging individually.

Q: Do I need to be a Slack admin?

Installing the FortWatch Slack app needs a workspace admin to approve it once. After that, any member can route alerts to channels they can post in.

Alerting & Communication

Slack is where most engineering teams already live, which makes it the natural place to see security findings the moment they appear. The FortWatch Slack integration (currently in development) will push every new finding from your continuous external scans straight into the channels your team already watches — turning an exposed database or an expiring certificate into a message someone sees in minutes, not a dashboard nobody opens.

How it works

Slack + FortWatch

FortWatch connects to your Slack workspace through a Slack app (OAuth) and incoming webhooks. When a scan completes or a new issue is detected, FortWatch formats the finding — severity, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of the risk — and posts it to the channel you choose. You map each severity to a destination, so criticals can hit your on-call channel while informational findings collect quietly in a digest channel.

FortWatch scans

Eleven scanners watch your external attack surface around the clock — ports, certs, DNS, cloud buckets, exposed files and more.

AI triages the finding

Each issue is scored by real-world impact and packaged with the affected asset and a one-line explanation of the risk.

Delivered to Slack

The finding lands in Slack, routed by severity — so the right people see the right alert, fast.

Capabilities

What you'll be able to do

Everything the Slack integration will bring to your security workflow.

Real-time alerts

a new critical finding — an exposed Redis port, a public storage bucket — posts to Slack the moment a scan detects it.

Severity routing

send criticals and highs to an on-call channel and lower-severity findings to a digest channel.

Automatic @-mentions

tag the owning team or person on critical findings so the most urgent issues never sit unread.

Scheduled digests

a daily or weekly summary of your external attack surface in one channel.

Scan notifications

know when a scheduled scan finishes and whether anything changed since last time.

In practice

What an alert looks like

Every finding arrives formatted for Slack — severity up front, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of why it matters, with a link straight to the step-by-step fix.

Setup

Set it up in minutes, once it lands

No agents, no infrastructure changes — just connect Slack and choose where alerts go.

In FortWatch, open Settings → Integrations and connect your Slack workspace.

Choose a default channel for alerts (for example #security).

Map each severity to a channel and pick who gets @-mentioned on criticals.

Send a test alert to confirm the formatting, then switch it on.

Why route FortWatch into Slack?

A finding only matters if someone sees it. Dashboards get checked when people remember to; Slack gets checked all day. Routing FortWatch alerts into Slack collapses the gap between the moment something gets exposed and the moment someone starts fixing it — which is the whole point of continuous monitoring.
