Livesov + Slack

Point Livesov at a Slack incoming webhook and Fix Engine updates land in the channel your team already lives in. No app to install, no OAuth, about two minutes of setup.

What you get

A webhook, wired to the channel that cares

Configured per brand, so each client can have its own channel.

Fix Engine updates

Status summaries from the Fix Engine post straight into the channel — what was found, what shipped, what failed and why.

Issue hand-offs

Send an individual fix to the channel as a formatted message when the brand has no Linear or Jira connected.

Native Slack formatting

The payload is a Slack incoming-webhook body, so messages render with bold, links, and line breaks rather than as a wall of JSON.

Works with any catch-hook

The same webhook URL can point at Zapier, Make, n8n, or your own endpoint — nothing about it is Slack-specific.

SSRF-validated

The webhook URL must be public HTTPS. Internal and private-range destinations are rejected when you save it.

One per brand

Each brand carries its own webhook URL, so agencies can route each client to that client's own channel.

Setup

Three steps, about two minutes

Create a Slack incoming webhook
In Slack: Apps → Incoming Webhooks → Add to Slack. Pick the channel and copy the webhook URL Slack gives you.
Paste it into Livesov
Dashboard → Alerts → Webhook URL. It has to be a public HTTPS URL; Livesov rejects internal destinations.
Save
The webhook is stored against the brand. Fix Engine notifications for that brand start posting to the channel.

What this is, precisely

A Slack incoming webhook — not a Livesov app in the Slack directory. You create the webhook in Slack, paste the URL into Livesov, and Livesov POSTs a Slack-formatted message to it. A native app with OAuth, a channel picker, per-event routing, and slash commands is on the roadmap and is not shipped. We would rather tell you that here than have you go looking for us in the Slack directory.

Why teams run Livesov through Slack anyway

AI visibility moves in days, not quarters. A new competitor placement can shift your mention rate within a week, and a Fix Engine change that fails to apply is worth knowing about before the next reporting cycle, not after it. A channel that mirrors what the Fix Engine is doing keeps content, PR, and exec eyes on the same signal without anyone opening another dashboard.

What is delivered where

Worth being exact, because "alerts in Slack" means different things in different tools:

Fix Engine status summaries and fix hand-offs — the webhook. This is what the setup above configures.
Linear and Jira — native. When a brand has a tracker connected, individual fixes become real issues there instead of webhook messages.
Mention-rate drops, competitor moves, sentiment shifts— email today. If you want them in a channel now, Slack’s per-channel email address works well as a stopgap.
Weekly and monthly reports — email, as scheduled PDFs.

The same webhook, pointed elsewhere

Nothing about the payload is Slack-specific — it is a JSON body with a text field, which is exactly what a Zapier or Make catch-hook expects too. If you want Livesov output in Teams, Discord, or your own service, point the same field at that endpoint instead.

Slack FAQ

Is this a Slack app I install?

No. There is no Livesov app in the Slack directory and no OAuth flow. This is a plain Slack incoming webhook: you create the webhook in Slack, paste the URL into Livesov, and Livesov posts to it. A native Slack app with OAuth, channel pickers, and slash commands is on the roadmap, not shipped.

What actually gets posted today?

Fix Engine notifications: status summaries, and individual fix hand-offs when a brand has no Linear or Jira tracker connected. Mention-rate and competitor alerts are delivered by email today, not through the webhook — if you want those in Slack, route Livesov's alert emails into a channel with Slack's email-to-channel address, or watch this page.

Does it cost anything?

No. The webhook field is available on every plan, including the trial. Slack does not charge for incoming webhooks either.

Can I route different brands to different channels?

Yes. The webhook URL is stored per brand, so give each brand the webhook for its own channel. Agencies typically run one channel per client this way.

Are the requests signed?

Not today. Livesov POSTs a JSON body to the URL you configured, with no HMAC signature. Treat the webhook URL itself as the secret — anyone holding it can post to your channel, which is true of Slack incoming webhooks generally. Signed payloads are part of the planned public API work.

Can I trigger Livesov from Slack?

No. The integration is one-directional: Livesov → Slack. Inbound slash commands are on the roadmap.
