Connect FilingIQ to Slack

FilingIQ posts signals to Slack channels as Block Kit messages with the ticker and score in the header, signal summary in the body, structured fields for insider count and market cap, and a "View signal" button that opens the FilingIQ app. Setup is paste-URL — no Slack app install required.

What you need

• A FilingIQ account on the Professional or Enterprise tier.
• A Slack workspace where you can install (or have already installed) the Incoming Webhooks app.

Step by step

1. In Slack, go to your workspace's app directory and search for Incoming Webhooks. Click Add to Slack if it isn't installed yet.
2. Pick the channel you want signals to land in (e.g. #signals) and click Add Incoming Webhooks integration.
3. Copy the Webhook URL Slack shows you (begins with https://hooks.slack.com/services/).
4. In FilingIQ, open Settings → Integrations and click Add a Slack channel.
5. Paste the webhook URL, pick the event types you want (e.g. signal.high_conviction), and optionally narrow by ticker or minimum signal score.
6. Submit. FilingIQ posts a verification message to your Slack channel ("FilingIQ webhook verified") and marks the endpoint active.

Message format

Each signal renders as a Block Kit message with four sections:

• Header block — TICKER • Score N.
• Section block — bold signal type plus the summary text.
• Fields block — Insiders, Market cap, Latency, Event type rendered as a two-column grid.
• Actions block — "View signal" button linking to the full signal in the FilingIQ app.

Filtering noisy signals

Slack channels are easier to overload than Discord because every message triggers a notification. Two filters keep the signal channel useful:

• Minimum signal score — set to 75 or 80 for high-conviction-only.
• Ticker filter — comma-separated allow-list (e.g. NVDA, AAPL, MSFT).

Multiple channels

Add a separate Slack endpoint per channel — one for high-conviction signals across the market, one for a watchlist channel, one for insider clusters. Each Slack channel is a separate webhook endpoint with its own filters.

Disconnecting

Delete the FilingIQ webhook endpoint from Settings → Webhooks. The webhook on the Slack side keeps existing but receives no further posts. To clean up fully, also remove the configuration in Slack's Incoming Webhooks settings.

Troubleshooting

• "verification_failed" on create — the Slack URL is wrong, the webhook was deleted in Slack, or the channel was archived. Re-issue a new webhook URL in Slack and retry.
• Button doesn't open — Slack requires HTTPS URLs in action buttons. The "View signal" link always uses HTTPS; if your org rewrites links, check the URL allow-list.
• Channel name doesn't match — Slack pins each Incoming Webhook to the channel it was created in. To re-target, delete the webhook in Slack and create a new one in the new channel, then update the URL in FilingIQ.
