| ### Event Subscriptions | ||
|
|
||
| Under **Event Subscriptions**, enable the feature and set the **Request URL** to your Kestra webhook endpoint: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| https://<your-kestra-host>/api/v1/<tenant>/executions/webhook/<namespace>/<flow-id>/<webhook-key> | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| For local development with [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/), it looks like: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| https://df36-195-68-39-198.ngrok-free.app/api/v1/main/executions/webhook/company.team/slack_agent/my_key | ||
| ``` | ||

This comes before you even have a flow in Kestra. Could make sense to add the flow, then go back to Slack's API dashboard

Using the Copy URL button would be nice but it doesn't work at the moment
| - **Get execution status** — check whether a run succeeded or failed | ||
| - **Trigger an execution** — kick off a flow with specific inputs | ||

| When a team member types `@kestra-bot show me the last 5 failed executions in company.analytics`, the agent calls the appropriate MCP tool, gets the data, formats it conversationally, and posts the answer back to Slack. All of this happens inside a single Kestra execution — fully observable, with logs you can inspect in the Kestra UI. |

I don't think it can handle execution state?
