This beta Zulip integration supports for processing incoming webhook messages written to work with Slack's incoming webhook API.

  2. {!create-bot-construct-url.md!}

  3. Use your new webhook URL any place that you would use a Slack webhook.

Where possible, we prefer to create native Zulip integrations that make optimal use of Zulip's topics and don't require translating formatting, but this is a useful stopgap, especially for getting messages from third-party vendors that only offer a Slack integration (with no generic outgoing webhook API).

This integration, by its nature, involves a somewhat complex translation between Slack's formatting system and Zulip's. We appreciate feedback and bug reports on any cases where the resulting Zulip formatting is poor, so that we can either improve the formatting or add an appropriate native integration.

See also the Slack notifications integration for mirroring content from a Slack instance into Zulip.
