Slack Events Hook
Hello everyone,
I think someone has already manager to configure EventHook with Slack.
Quite basic:
I want to post on a Slack channel every time a user activated his account.
So I generate a WebHooks in Slack and put it into the EventHook I created in Okta.
"Authentification field": What should I put here ?
"Authentification secret": I think it is what's at the end of my URL.
When verifying my setup I get:
"Unable to verify event hook. Hook "Okta User Activation" execution failed. Remote server responded with client error, responseCode=400 message=Bad Request"
Does anyone has manage to setup WebHook with Slack ?
Any ideas how to fix this error ?
Regards,
I am having the same experience. I also cannot get it to work
I suspect the issue has to do with One-Time Verification request that Okta requires on the receiving webhook side. It may also be the json payload
https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/event-hooks/
Would be nice if Okta would actually look at these posts
If you have Okta Workflows, it should be incredibly easy to set something like this up:
2) Compose whatever message you want to send
3) Slack - Send Message to Channel card
BUT what if you don't have Okta Workflows? What Thierry is trying to do is use the Event Hooks feature instead of the workflow feature. Is there guidance on how to use the event hooks to send info to slack?
