Send External Requests
Use the power of Mergent to send requests to external services and you'll never have to worry about failed requests or retry logic ever again.
Because Mergent invokes Tasks by sending webhooks, it's able to send webhooks directly to other services, such as Slack.
  1. 1.
    Get a Slack Webhook URL by following the instructions in the Slack documentation.
  2. 2.
    Create a Mergent Task with request[url] = "$SLACK_URL"
That's it. Every time you execute that task, we'll send the request directly to Slack and log it in the Mergent Dashboard.
Never worry about failed requests or retry logic ever again.
