Connecting Slack and Teams

Kabuna can send real-time hiring notifications to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel. Both integrations work through incoming webhooks, so you don’t need to install a full app or grant broad permissions.

Connecting Slack

Step 1 — Create an incoming webhook in Slack

  1. Open your Slack workspace in a browser.
  2. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App > From scratch.
  3. Name the app (for example, “Kabuna Notifications”) and pick the workspace you want to post to.
  4. In the left sidebar, click Incoming Webhooks and toggle it on.
  5. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace.
  6. Choose the channel where you want notifications to appear and click Allow.
  7. Copy the webhook URL that Slack gives you.

    • Candidate rejected
    • Scorecard submitted
  3. Click Save.

Step 3 — Choose which events to send

Testing the connection

After saving, click the Send test notification button. You should see a test message appear in your Slack or Teams channel within a few seconds. If it doesn’t arrive, double-check that the webhook URL is correct and that the channel still exists.
