Notification Channels

Dispatch can notify you of install, update, and removal events via email and Slack.

Setup

Go to Dispatch → Settings → Notifications in your WordPress admin.

Email

Enter one or more email addresses (comma-separated). Dispatch sends notifications via wp_mail for:

• Project installed
• Project updated
• Project removed
• Site connected / disconnected

Each email includes the project name, version, acting user, and timestamp.

Slack

Paste an Incoming Webhook URL from your Slack workspace. Dispatch posts a message to your chosen channel for each event.

To create a Slack webhook:

1. Go to api.slack.com/apps and create or open an app.
2. Enable Incoming Webhooks and click Add New Webhook to Workspace.
3. Choose your notification channel and copy the webhook URL.
4. Paste it into Dispatch.

Example message:

✅ Dispatch: Hero Block updated to v12 by admin on Example Site

Filtering Events

Choose which event types trigger notifications. For example, notify on installs and updates but not on disconnections.

Testing

Click Send Test Notification after saving to confirm everything is working before relying on it in production.
