Kaneo can post task activity to a Slack channel whenever events occur in a project. This uses Slack’s incoming webhook feature — no bot token or OAuth flow required.

​
Create a Slack webhook

  1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App then From scratch.
  2. Name your app (e.g. “Kaneo”) and select your workspace.
  3. In the app settings, go to Incoming Webhooks and toggle it On.
  4. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace.
  5. Select the channel where you want notifications (or choose your own DM for personal notifications).
  6. Click Allow, then copy the webhook URL. It will look like:
https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If your Slack workspace restricts app installations, you may need a workspace admin to approve the app before you can use the webhook.

​
Connect Slack in Kaneo

  1. Open Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Under Projects, select the project you want to connect.
  3. Open the Integrations tab.
  4. Expand the Slack section.
  5. Paste your webhook URL.
  6. Optionally add a channel name label for your own reference.
  7. Choose which events to subscribe to (see below).
  8. Click Connect.
Once connected you can enable or disable the integration with the toggle, update event subscriptions, or disconnect entirely.

Supported events

EventDefaultDescription

Task priority changedOffA task’s priority is changed
Task title changedOffA task’s title is edited
Task description changedOffA task’s description is edited
Task comment createdOnA new comment is added to a task
You can toggle any combination of these events in the integration settings at any time.

​
Message format

Kaneo sends Slack Block Kit messages with:
  • A header describing the event (e.g. “Task Status Changed”)
  • Task name with a clickable link to the task in Kaneo
  • Fields for project, status, and priority
  • The name of the user who triggered the event
Make sure KANEO_CLIENT_URL is set to your public Kaneo URL so task links work correctly.

​
Updating the webhook

To change the webhook URL after connecting, paste the new URL in the webhook field and click Save Changes. If you leave the field empty, the existing URL is kept.

​
Disconnecting

Click Disconnect to remove the integration. This deletes the stored webhook URL and all event settings for that project. You can reconnect at any time by pasting a new webhook URL.
