Slack is a popular messaging platform that has rich features, including “bots”, webhooks, etc.

Nametag can send webhooks to a Slack app with some simple set up.

Slack set up

See the documentation provided by Slack for configuring a Slack App that can accept webhooks.

Add a webhook receiver to the workspace by clicking the “Incoming Webhooks” link on the left and then clicking “Add New Webhook to Workspace” and configure the Slack instance and channel that will receive the webhook.

At the end of that process Slack will provide a URL for you. This will start with https://hooks.slack.com/services; this is the URL you will need to add to your Nametag configuration.

Nametag set up

In the Nametag console, click “Configure”, then on the left choose “Webhooks” on the left. Click “Add a webhook” and paste the URL from Slack into the “Delivery URL” field. Click the “Enabled” toggle at the top of the panel to turn on the webhook, then choose what event or events you’d like sent to Slack and save the configuration.

Expected output

Depending on which of the Nametag webhook events you have enabled you will see different things. One example is:

 {
  "event_type": "request",
  "event": "request_created",
  "request": {
    "id": "2d3aabbe-ef26-4a87-92b3-ebb97ccedb6d",
    "created_at": "2025-04-03T14:16:24.536252Z",
    "updated_at": "2025-04-03T14:16:24.536252Z",
    "expires_at": "2025-04-10T14:16:24.523186Z",
    "ticket": "xhr5nwntzqcv2c",
    "link": "https://nametag.co/i/xhr5nwntzqcv2c",
    "env": "b4nr9fikhvxfmdq",
    "template": "csr",
    "label": "",
    "scopes": [
      "nt:legal_name",
      "nt:birth_date",
      "nt:govtid_details"
    ],
    "claims": [],
    "status": "pending",
    "progress": "created",
    "requester": "dc4993a8-832c-4f85-b81e-febe572b79ed",
    "properties": {},
    "details": {
      "integrity_ok": false,
      "is_self_service": false
    }
  }
}

At this point your Slack app or other Slack bots can process that data for formatting or other actions.
