Slack Incoming Webhooks API

Slack Incoming Webhooks provide a simple way to post messages from external sources into Slack. Creating an incoming webhook gives you a unique URL to which you send a JSON payload with the message text and formatting options. Messages can be plain text or use Block Kit for rich formatting with interactive components.
