Slack Integration

Get notified in Slack when test runs complete, tests fail, or on a daily schedule. Keep your team informed without checking the ProvaLab.io dashboard.

What You Can Do

• Test run notifications -- Get a message when a test run completes with pass/fail summary
• Failure alerts -- Get immediate alerts when critical tests fail
• Daily summaries -- Receive a daily digest of test activity
• Custom channels -- Route different notifications to different Slack channels

Set Up Slack Notifications

Step 1: Create a Slack Incoming Webhook

1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps
2. Click Create New App > From scratch
3. Name it "ProvaLab.io Notifications" and select your workspace
4. Go to Incoming Webhooks and toggle Activate Incoming Webhooks on
5. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace
6. Select the channel where you want notifications (e.g., #qa-alerts)
7. Click Allow
8. Copy the Webhook URL (it looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00.../B00.../xxx...)

Step 2: Add the Webhook to ProvaLab.io

1. In ProvaLab.io, go to Settings > Integrations > Slack
2. Click Add Webhook
3. Paste your Slack webhook URL
4. Give it a name (e.g., "QA Alerts Channel")
5. Click Save

Step 3: Configure Notification Events

Choose which events trigger Slack notifications:

Event	Description	Recommended
Test run completed	Sent when any test run finishes	Yes
Test run failed	Sent when a test run has failures	Yes
All tests passed	Sent when a test run passes 100%	Optional
Daily summary	Sent daily at a configured time	Yes
New critical failure	Sent when a critical-priority test fails	Yes
Test plan completed	Sent when all runs in a plan finish	Optional

For each event, you can filter by:

• Project -- Only notify for specific projects
• Environment -- Only notify for production, staging, etc.
• Test plan -- Only notify for specific test plans

Disable Notifications

Temporarily mute

1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Slack
2. Click Mute on a webhook
3. Choose duration: 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or until you unmute

Remove a webhook

1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Slack
2. Click the trash icon next to the webhook
3. Confirm deletion

Verify It Works

1. Create a Slack incoming webhook for a test channel
2. Add the webhook in Settings > Integrations > Slack
3. Enable "Test run completed" notifications
4. Run a test suite with ProvaLab.io integration enabled
5. Check your Slack channel for the notification

Test your webhook

After adding a webhook, click the Send Test Message button to verify the connection works before running a real test suite.

Common issues

• No notifications: Verify the webhook URL is correct and the Slack app is still installed in your workspace
• Wrong channel: Each webhook is tied to a specific Slack channel. Create a new webhook if you need to change the channel
• Too many notifications: Use event filters to limit notifications to specific projects or environments
