  3. Click “Incoming Webhooks” under “Features”

  4. Turn the “Activate Incoming Webhooks” switch on

  7. Copy the Webhook URL Call slackr_setup(channel = ‘#channel_with_webhook’, incoming_webhook_url = ‘your_webhook’). You can also follow the config file setup directions below instead of passing the channel and webhook directly.
