Webhooks & Notifications
SysWard alerts you when new security updates are detected on your servers — through a chat webhook and by email.
Slack & Discord webhooks
Set a Webhook URL on the Organization Settings page. SysWard picks the destination automatically from the URL:
- a Slack incoming-webhook URL (one containing
slack) posts a Slack message - a Discord webhook URL (one containing
discord) posts a Discord message
When an agent checks in and SysWard finds new security updates on it, it posts a message with the hostname, the pending security and regular update counts, and a link straight to that agent:
web-01 has pending updates. Security: 3, Regular: 12
To set it up:
- Create an incoming webhook in Slack or Discord and copy its URL.
- Paste it into Webhook URL on Organization Settings and click Save.
Email notifications
Users who enable Receive email alerts on their Profile page are emailed when new security updates are found on your servers.
Notifications fire when an agent's pending security-update count increases — so you hear about new risk as it appears, not the same backlog on every check-in.
