Once connected, you will see a green Active badge and the notification settings panel will appear.
After connecting, you can choose exactly which events trigger Slack notifications. Events are grouped into three categories:
Event | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
New lead reply | A lead responded to your campaign email | On |
Lead status changed | A lead's status was updated (by AI classification, manually, or by system) | Off |
Auto-reply received | An out-of-office or auto-response was detected | Off |
Event | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Campaign started | A campaign began sending emails | Off |
Campaign completed | A campaign finished sending all emails | On |
Campaign auto-paused | A campaign was automatically paused (e.g. high bounce rate) | On |
Campaign resumed | A paused campaign was resumed | Off |
Event | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Account disconnected | An SMTP email account lost connection | On |
Bounce rate spike | An unusual increase in bounce rate was detected | Off |
Lead unsubscribed | A lead clicked the unsubscribe link | Off |
A/B winner selected | An A/B test variant was automatically chosen as the winner | Off |
Toggle each event on or off based on your needs, then click Save Changes.
Each notification includes relevant context so you can act quickly:
Lead reply: Shows the sender name, campaign, message preview, and a link to the thread in Inbox Hub
Campaign completed: Shows delivery metrics (emails delivered / total sent)
Bounce spike: Color-coded by severity - red for critical, orange for warning
A/B winner: Shows the winning variant and the metric it won on
All messages include a direct link back to the relevant page in MailBeast.
Enable/Disable: Use the toggle switch to temporarily pause notifications without removing the webhook
Delete: Click the delete button and confirm to remove the integration entirely
Change webhook URL: To switch to a different Slack channel or rotate the webhook, delete the current integration and set up a new one with the new URL
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Not receiving notifications | Check that the integration is enabled (green Active badge) and that the specific event toggles are turned on |
Invalid webhook URL error | Make sure the URL starts with |
Notifications going to wrong channel | Delete the current integration, create a new webhook in Slack for the correct channel, and set it up again in MailBeast |
Only high-signal events are sent to Slack (11 event types). High-volume events like individual email opens/clicks are not sent to Slack to avoid flooding your channel - these will be available via the Webhooks integration (coming soon).
Rate limit: 1 message per second with burst up to 3, matching Slack's own rate limits.
