How to send Google Ads script alerts to Slack

Email alerts reach one person. A Slack channel reaches whoever is on duty, and keeps a visible record of what broke and when.

1. Create an incoming webhook in Slack

1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and create an app in your workspace, or open one you already use for integrations.
2. Open Incoming Webhooks and switch the feature on.
3. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace and choose the channel, for example #ppc-alerts.
4. Copy the webhook URL. It starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/.

You need permission to install apps in the Slack workspace; if you do not have it, ask a Slack admin to do these steps and send you the URL.

2. Add it to chiliad

1. Open Settings → Notifications.
2. Under Slack Integration, paste the URL into Webhook URL.
3. Click Save Webhook.

The webhook is a workspace setting: one channel for the whole team, shared by all members.

What gets posted

• Script alerts — repeated failures, scripts that stopped running and sharp drops in runtime. Each message names the script, shows its priority, the number of consecutive failures and the latest error, and has a button that opens the script.
• Digests — a summary of script activity at the frequency your plan and settings allow.
• Connection problems — when a Google connection expires.

Good practice

• Use a dedicated channel so alerts are not buried in conversation.
• Mark business-critical scripts as High priority so they stand out.
• Treat the webhook URL like a password: anyone who has it can post to the channel.

To stop the messages, clear the field and save.
