Slack + Webhooks by Zapier

Set Slack channel topics from new webhook payloads

Webhooks allow you to receive data from a wide variety of sources—and some of that is likely important to everyone on Slack. Activate this Webhook-Slack integration and Zapier will see to it that the whole team is always informed. Every new payload caught by your custom webhook URL will trigger the automation, using the data to set a new topic for your Slack channel each time.
