Google Alerts to Slack or Teams

AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics with native Slack and Discord delivery, plus email, push, and webhooks.

Why route to Slack or Teams

The alert should land where the conversation happens. A pricing alert in a pricing channel gets a response. The same alert in an inbox gets archived.

Routing also creates a record. The channel history shows what changed and who responded.

The three ways to do it

Native integration: the monitor posts directly. Email-to-channel: Slack and Teams can ingest an email address. Webhook: a small script formats the event.

Native is the least work. Email-to-channel is the fastest migration from Google Alerts. Webhook is the most flexible.

Format the message

Source, fact, old value, new value, and a link. Use a short subject line and a thread for follow-up. Avoid dumping the full page into the channel.

A message that fits on a phone screen is more likely to be read than a wall of HTML.

Separate the channels

Pricing, legal, hiring, and security should not share a channel. Each has a different owner and urgency. A mixed channel trains the team to skim.

Create one channel per decision type. If a channel has no owner, it is a notification museum.

Try it

Connect one watch to Slack or Teams. Trigger a real change. Check the formatting on mobile and desktop. Then add the next watch.

AyeWatch Pro is $9/mo with 50 topics and hourly checks; Pro+ is $19/mo with 200 topics and ASAP mode. The automation guide covers webhook routing.

Route alerts to a team channel

1. Pick one page and one team channel with an owner.
2. Write a rule naming the facts that count.
3. Connect the monitor to Slack or Teams.
4. Trigger a test change and check the message on mobile.

The bottom line

Pick the channel where the pricing or legal conversation already happens. Connect one watch. Trigger a test. If the message reads well on a phone, add the second source.
