Anycloud for Slack

Setup and support

Direct support without another account or support portal.

Contact Anycloud

Email support@anycloud.sh with a description of the issue and your Anycloud version. Do not include your webhook URL.

We respond to support requests within two business days.

Install and connect

  1. Run anycloud notifications connect slack on the machine hosting the Anycloud API. The CLI opens the Slack installation page or prints its URL.
  2. Choose the Slack workspace and channel that should receive operational alerts, then authorize the single requested permission.
  3. Click Copy webhook, return to the waiting terminal, and paste it into the hidden prompt.
  4. Confirm the test message appears in the selected channel.

The Slack webhook is a secret. Paste it only into the Anycloud prompt on the intended server—not into tickets, chat, logs, or source control.

Check or test the integration

anycloud notifications statusanycloud notifications test slack

The Anycloud API checks for digest work every 15 minutes. Daily summaries cover the previous UTC calendar day and are sent only when there is relevant activity. The first check after enabling establishes a starting point instead of sending an incomplete historical digest.

Troubleshooting

The CLI says the webhook is invalid

Start the installation again and copy the new webhook in full. Ensure it has not been modified by a password manager or messaging application.

The test message fails

Confirm the server has outbound HTTPS access to hooks.slack.com. If the channel was archived, the app was removed, or the webhook was revoked, reinstall the app and run anycloud notifications enable slack with the new webhook.

No daily summary appeared

Run anycloud notifications status and confirm the Anycloud API is running continuously. Summaries are skipped when there is no relevant activity, and the schedule uses UTC rather than the workspace's local timezone.

The webhook may have leaked

Uninstall the app from the affected Slack workspace or remove the webhook in Slack immediately. Reinstall to generate a replacement, then update the Anycloud server.

Disable or uninstall

To stop delivery and remove the stored webhook:

anycloud notifications disable slack

A Slack workspace administrator can then uninstall Anycloud from Slack's app-management settings, which revokes the incoming webhook. Disabling notifications does not uninstall the Slack app, and uninstalling the Slack app does not remove the webhook stored on your API.
