Slack Issues

Slack notifications require a valid incoming webhook. If notifications stop arriving, check the webhook configuration below.

Notifications Not Appearing

Verify you've enabled the notification types you want (build started, succeeded, failed).

Webhook Errors

  3. Update the webhook in Jamdesk

"Channel not found"

The target channel no longer exists.

"Posting to channel failed"

The webhook may have been revoked or the bot was removed.

Duplicate Notifications

You may have multiple webhooks configured:

  1. Go to SettingsIntegrations
  2. Remove duplicate Slack connections

Delayed Notifications

Notifications typically arrive within seconds. Delays may be caused by:

  • Slack service issues (check Slack Status)
  • Network congestion
  • Large build queues

Disconnect

In Jamdesk, go to SettingsIntegrationsDisconnect Slack

Notification Format Issues

If messages appear malformed:

  • Ensure you're using Incoming Webhooks (not Slack API)
