What do you want your webhook to do?
A: I'm a Data Request Manager and I currently receive emails when new DSAR requests are email verified. But these emails are sent daily, not immediately when a new request is received. And since these emails are mixed in with other kinds of messages it can be tough to rely on them to prompt action. What I'd like instead is to immeidately receive a notificaiton whenever I as the Data Request Manager need to do somehting to advance a DSAR. I need to do something when all action items are complete. So I want to create a webhook that will notifiy me when all actions items are complete on a request so I can review it in the moment.
Solution - Create a webhook to send Slack notifications whenever all action items on a request are complete

Enter a description for your app and then select the workspace you would like your notifications to be sent to. Then, click to create the app.
You taken to the Basic Information tab for your newly created Slack app. Once there, click the 'Incoming Webhooks' button within the Add features and functionality section:
