Slack Integration

The Slack integration sends real-time notifications to your Slack workspace when Detectify detects new vulnerabilities, completes scans, or detects changes in your attack surface.

What You Get

With the Slack integration enabled, Detectify can send notifications for:

  • New vulnerability findings with severity, affected asset, and a direct link to the finding in Detectify
  • Scan completions with a summary of results
  • Asset changes detected by Attack Surface Management
  • Status updates when finding statuses change

Setup

Prerequisites

  • A Detectify account with admin or team admin permissions
  • Access to add apps in your Slack workspace

Configuration Steps

  1. In Detectify, navigate to Settings > Integrations.
  2. Find Slack in the list of available integrations and click Configure.
  3. Click Connect to Slack. You will be redirected to Slack to authorize the connection.
  4. In Slack, select the workspace and channel where you want notifications to be posted.
  5. Click Allow to grant Detectify permission to post messages to the selected channel.
  6. Back in Detectify, configure which notification types you want to receive:
    • Select the severity levels that trigger notifications (for example, Critical and High only)
    • Choose which event types to include (new findings, scan completions, asset changes)
  7. Click Save.

Testing the Integration

After setup, click Send Test Notification to verify that messages are delivered to the configured Slack channel. If the test message does not appear:

  • Verify that the Detectify app has not been removed from the Slack channel
  • Check that the channel still exists and has not been archived
  • Re-authorize the connection if needed

Managing Notifications

Filtering by Severity

To reduce noise, configure the integration to only send notifications for findings above a certain severity threshold. For most teams, receiving notifications for Critical and High findings is sufficient, with Medium and Low findings reviewed during regular triage cycles.

Multiple Channels

You can configure multiple Slack integrations to route different notification types to different channels. For example:

  • Critical and High findings to a #security-alerts channel
  • Scan completions to a #security-reports channel
  • Asset changes to an #infrastructure channel

Disconnecting

To remove the Slack integration, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Slack and click Disconnect. This stops all Slack notifications but does not affect your scan configurations or findings data.
