Slack

Send scan notifications to Slack channels when HawkScan runs and completes.

Overview

The StackHawk Slack integration sends notifications to your Slack workspace whenever a scan runs and completes, reporting findings as they are discovered. The integration uses OAuth 2.0 to connect your Slack workspace with StackHawk.

Features

• Receive notifications when HawkScan runs and completes
• Get a summary of findings with a link to the StackHawk platform on successful scans
• Receive error summaries with links to stacktraces on scan failures

Requirements

StackHawk

• A StackHawk account

Slack

• Signed in to the Slack workspace where you want to add the integration
• Permission to install Slack Apps in your workspace

Required Scopes

This integration requires the following Slack permissions:

Scope	Description
View public channels	View basic information about public channels in the workspace
View private channels	View basic information about private channels that StackHawk has been added to
Send messages	Send messages as @stackhawk
Post to any channel	Send messages to channels @stackhawk is not a member of

Setup

1. Log in to StackHawk and go to the Slack Integration page.
2. Click Install StackHawk for Slack. A new tab opens where you authorize the required scopes.
3. Complete the authorization within one hour before the link expires.
4. Once authorized, the integration is ready to configure.

Configuration

After authorization, configure which Slack channels receive notifications in the StackHawk platform.

Channel Settings

Configuration is assigned per-channel. For each connected Slack channel, specify which applications and environments send notifications when scanned.

Setting	Default Behavior
Applications	If none selected, notifications sent for all applications
Environments	If none selected, notifications sent for all environments. Specific environments can only be selected when at least one application is configured.

Edit or remove individual channel configurations using the vertical ellipsis menu on each row.

Private Channels

To send notifications to a private channel:

1. Invite the @stackhawk bot to the channel by mentioning it in a message or through the channel member list.
2. Once invited, the private channel appears in the channel dropdown.

If you convert a public channel to private, you must invite the StackHawk bot to continue receiving notifications.

Finding Channels by ID

If you cannot find a channel in the dropdown, search by Slack channel ID:

1. Right-click the Slack channel and select View Channel Details.
2. Copy the channel ID from the bottom of the modal.

Channel ID prefixes: C for public channels, G for private channels.

Troubleshooting

Channel Not Found

• Invite the @stackhawk bot to private channels you want to notify
• Search by the channel ID instead of name

Notifications Not Sending

• Verify a channel is configured with settings matching the scanned application
• Check the Slack status page for outages
• Confirm the integration is still installed in your Slack workspace
• Remove and reinstall the integration as a last resort (this resets all channel configurations)
