Integration with Slack for new question alerts

Question

We want a message posted to a Slack channel whenever a new question comes in. Is there a native integration or do we need to build on webhooks?

Built exactly that with a tiny Cloudflare Worker sitting between the two webhooks, maybe an hour of work, works great.

No native Slack integration yet. The webhook event for a new question plus a Slack incoming webhook URL gets you there with a small relay, happy to share a sample payload mapping if useful.

Would love an official integration eventually, but the webhook relay approach got us running in an afternoon.

Native Slack integration is on our medium-term roadmap, this thread is helpful signal for prioritizing it.
