## Create a Slack Workspace

To create a Slack workspace, follow these steps:

## Adding Channels to Your Workspace

After creating your Slack workspace, you can add channels by following these steps:

- Click the '+' icon next to 'Channels' on the sidebar of your Slack workspace.
- Choose "Create a channel" and specify the channel name and purpose.
- For enterprise grid organizations, refer to [Slack's help article](https://slack.com/help/articles/115001399587-Add-a-channel-to-multiple-workspaces-in-your-Enterprise-Grid-organization) for instructions.

## Setting Up a Webhook for Notifications

To set up a webhook for sending notifications to your Slack workspace:

- Create a [Slack app](https://api.slack.com/apps/new), following the instructions by signing in, adding name and workspace to put the app in.
- After this, you'll be redirected to the setting pages of your new app. Choose **Incoming Webhook** and toggle **Activate Webhook**.
- Scroll down to click the option **Add New Webhook to Workspace**.

- The page will give you a link associated with the app you created. This link will be where API requests are sent to send messages to your Slack workspace.

- To test if the webhook works as needed, you can try sending an API request to this link to see if the message goes through. I used Postman to test this. Remember that this is an application/json file.

- Afterwards, the text channel should have a new message
