description: Send Report URI Watch alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or Mattermost using webhook notifications.

# Notifications

Watch product alerts can be delivered to the chat tool your team already has open. Every destination on these pages works with the webhook field that is already in your account - there is nothing to build and nothing to install.

Set the destination once per watcher, in the Config modal on the watcher's row. See [Webhooks](/integrations/webhooks/) for enabling them and for the full payload reference.

## Supported destinations

| Destination | How it works |
|---|---|
| [Slack](/notifications/slack/) | Formatted as a Slack message, with a link straight to the finding |
| [Discord](/notifications/discord/) | Uses Discord's Slack-compatible endpoint |
| [Microsoft Teams](/notifications/microsoft-teams/) | Via a Workflows webhook trigger |
| [Google Chat](/notifications/google-chat/) | Incoming webhook on a space |
| [Mattermost](/notifications/mattermost/) | Slack-compatible incoming webhook |

## Why most of these work without any extra configuration

Our webhook payload is a JSON object that always carries a `text` key holding a human-readable summary of the alert, alongside the structured fields. Slack established that shape, and several other tools accept it deliberately for compatibility - so a Report URI webhook lands as a readable message in each of them without a translation layer.

Slack itself gets more than that. When the endpoint is one of ours-recognised Slack URLs we send Block Kit formatting, which is what produces the clickable link through to the finding rather than a line of plain text.

## Alerts by email

Every Watch product also sends email alerts, on by default, controlled by the **Send email alerts** toggle in the same Config modal. Email and webhook are independent - you can run either, both, or neither, and the alert threshold applies to both.

Email goes to your account's notification address. If you want alerts in a ticketing or on-call system rather than an inbox, see [Security Operations](/security-operations/).

## Audit events are separate

These pages cover Watch alerts - a new script, a changed policy, a watcher going quiet. Account security events (API keys created, settings changed, logins) are a different feed with its own webhook, covered under [Security Operations](/security-operations/audit-trail/).
