Alerts
Slack Integration
Send API change alerts to your Slack workspace.
Slack alerts require a Pro plan.
Setup
1. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook
- Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App → From scratch
- Name it "Varen Alerts" and pick your workspace
- Go to Incoming Webhooks → toggle it On
- Click Add New Webhook to Workspace → pick a channel (e.g.
#api-alerts) - Copy the webhook URL (starts with
https://hooks.slack.com/services/...)
2. Connect in Varen
- Go to Dashboard → Settings → Slack
- Paste the webhook URL
- Click Connect
A test message will be sent to your channel to confirm it works.
What Slack alerts look like
Slack alerts include:
- API name and severity badge
- Description of the change
- Affected endpoint
- A link to the full change detail in Varen
Per-API configuration
You can enable or disable Slack alerts per API. For example, send Stripe alerts to Slack but keep OpenAI alerts email-only.
See Alert Routing for details.
