How Do I Connect Slack?
- Go to Settings → Slack & Webhook Integration (requires Pro or Team plan)
- Create a Slack incoming webhook: in Slack, go to Apps → Incoming Webhooks, choose a channel, copy the URL (starts with
https://hooks.slack.com/services/…) - Paste the URL into KompWatch and click Save
- KompWatch auto-detects the URL as Slack and shows a "Slack detected" badge
- Click Send test to confirm a test message arrives in your channel
Why Don't I See the Webhook Section?
Webhooks require a Pro or Team plan. Free accounts receive email digests only. Go to /pricing to upgrade.
How Do I Connect Microsoft Teams?
Follow the same steps as Slack:
- In a Teams channel, click … → Connectors → Incoming Webhook, name it, copy the URL (contains
webhook.office.com) - Paste it into Settings → Slack & Webhook Integration
- KompWatch auto-detects it as Teams and formats messages accordingly
Can I Use a Generic Webhook or Zapier?
Yes — paste any https:// URL. Payloads are sent as JSON POST requests. For Zapier, use a "Webhooks by Zapier" trigger URL. See Webhook Payload Format → for the full schema, field reference, HMAC signature verification, and retry behavior.
What Are Instant Pricing Alerts? (Pro and Team)
Pro and Team plans. When KompWatch detects a PRICING-type change, it sends an immediate alert — email and/or webhook — without waiting for your next digest cycle.
To enable or configure:
- Go to Settings → Notifications → Instant alerts
- Toggle on Pricing changes
- Choose your delivery channel: Email, Webhook (Slack/Teams), or both
- Set your severity threshold (default: HIGH — price changes, tier restructuring)
See Instant Pricing-Change Alerts → for the full guide, including what counts as a pricing change and why an alert might not fire.
What Are Real-Time Alerts (All Changes)? (Team)
Team plan only. Real-time alerts push any change type to your webhook the moment it's detected — not just pricing changes.
To enable:
- Make sure a webhook URL is saved and enabled
- Toggle on Real-time alerts in Settings
- Set your severity threshold: only changes at or above this level trigger an instant ping
- Critical only — major pivots, acquisitions
- High and above — pricing changes, major feature launches (recommended)
- Medium and above — new features, job signal changes
- All changes — every detected diff (noisy)
Pro accounts get instant alerts for pricing changes only. Upgrade to Team for real-time delivery across all change types.
How Do I Test My Webhook?
Click Send test next to the URL field. A test payload is fired immediately. If your channel or endpoint doesn't receive it within 30 seconds, check:
- The URL is saved (not just typed)
- The webhook is enabled (toggle is on)
- The Slack app has permissions to post to the chosen channel
How Do I Enable or Disable Webhook Notifications?
- Go to Settings → Slack & Webhook Integration
- Use the Webhook notifications toggle to enable or disable without deleting the URL
The toggle is inactive until a valid URL is saved.
How Do I Get Notified of Changes Via Email?
Email digest frequency is set by your plan (Weekly / Daily / Real-time). You can also:
- Set a minimum severity in Settings → Notifications to reduce noise (e.g. High+ means only pricing changes and major launches)
- Disable email digests entirely with the Email digests toggle
Can I Route Digests to a Shared Team Inbox?
Yes — sign up with a shared alias (competitive@yourcompany.com). Everyone on the alias gets the digest. Alternatively, use Slack to post to a shared team channel.
Can I Change the Email Address My Digests Go To?
Not yet via Settings. Email support@kompwatch.com and we'll update your account email manually.
