[Slack](https://slack.com) is a cloud-based set of proprietary team collaboration software tools and online services.

## Create a Slack Webhook

A webhook is required to post alerts to a slack.

1. Follow slack's guide to setting up an [incoming webhook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks).
2. Copy the Webhook URL
3. Turn on slack alerts and enter the URL in to the [LinuxGSM settings](https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/linuxgsm-config). (`~/lgsm/config-lgsm/<gameserver>/common.cfg`)

```
