Setting up Slack notifications

Connect Slack at account level, route each project to a dedicated channel, and get AI-generated audit summaries with score trends and one-click actions posted automatically.

4 min read

1

Connect your Slack workspace

Go to Integrations in your account settings and click Connect Slack. You will be taken to Slack to authorise the Destiny QA app. Once connected, enter a default channel name (for example #qa-alerts) in the Default channel field on the Slack card. This channel receives notifications for any project that does not have its own channel configured.

What a notification contains

When an audit completes, Destiny QA posts to Slack with the overall score, a colour-coded indicator (green above 80, amber above 60, red below), and the trend versus the previous audit (for example +4 vs last audit). It also includes an AI-generated executive summary of the findings, a per-category score breakdown across performance, accessibility, technical SEO and security, a short list of the top fixes to tackle next, the count of critical, high and medium issues, how many issues are new or fixed since the last audit, and a direct link to the full report. The AI summary is generated by Gemini and is only included on Pro and Agency plans with a Gemini API key configured.

Act on a report without leaving Slack

Every audit notification includes action buttons. Click View report to open the full report, Re-run audit to immediately queue a fresh audit for that project, or Mute this project to pause its Slack alerts. Muting silences both audit and uptime notifications for that project until you click Unmute. These buttons work on workspaces connected through the Connect Slack button. You can also start audits from anywhere in Slack with the /audit command: run /audit to list your projects or /audit https://example.com to start an audit for a matching project.

Route a project to its own channel

Open the project in Destiny QA, go to Settings, and scroll to the Slack Notifications section. Type the channel name (for example #website-alerts) and save. That project's audit completions will post to that channel instead of the account default. No webhook creation is needed. The bot you connected during setup can post to any channel it has access to.

5

Test the connection

Back on the Integrations page, use the Send test button on the Slack card to post a test message to the account default channel. If no message arrives, confirm the default channel is set and that the Destiny QA app is still installed in your Slack workspace.
