Workflow Integration

Slack

Send screenshot images, PDFs, and video captures to any Slack channel or direct message the moment a job finishes. Keep your team informed without leaving Slack.

Release previews

Post visual snapshots of staging builds to your #releases channel after each deployment.

Incident response

Capture broken pages or error states and share them instantly in your #incidents channel.

Monitoring alerts

Attach a screenshot to every uptime or visual regression alert so the team can triage at a glance.

How it works

When a screenshot job finishes, ScreenshotCenter uploads the captured image to Slack via the Slack Files API and posts a message with a configurable title and permalink to the full-resolution file in your ScreenshotCenter dashboard.

1

Connect Slack in the dashboard

Go to Apps → Connect a new app → Slack and authorise ScreenshotCenter with your Slack workspace. Choose the default destination channel or user.
2

Include the app ID in screenshot requests

Add the Slack app ID to the apps parameter of any screenshot or batch request.
3

Screenshot appears in Slack

The image is uploaded to the channel you configured. The message includes the captured URL, timestamp, and a link to the full-resolution file in your ScreenshotCenter dashboard.

Quick start

Add the Slack app ID to the apps parameter:

curl "https://api.screenshotcenter.com/api/v1/screenshot/create\
  ?key=YOUR_API_KEY\
  &url=https://example.com\
  &apps=my-slack-app"

import { ScreenshotCenterClient } from 'screenshotcenter';

const client = new ScreenshotCenterClient(process.env.SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY);

const shot = await client.screenshot.create('https://example.com', {
  apps: ['my-slack-app'],
});

// Screenshot is posted to your Slack channel automatically

from screenshotcenter import ScreenshotCenterClient

client = ScreenshotCenterClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

shot = client.screenshot.create(
    "https://example.com",
    apps=["my-slack-app"],
)

# Screenshot is posted to your Slack channel automatically

use ScreenshotCenter\Client;

$client = new Client(getenv('SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY'));

$shot = $client->screenshot->create('https://example.com', [
    'apps' => ['my-slack-app'],
]);

// Screenshot is posted to your Slack channel automatically

import (
    "fmt"
    sc "github.com/juliensobrier/screenshotcenter-go"
)

client := sc.New("YOUR_API_KEY")

shot, _ := client.Screenshot.Create("https://example.com", &sc.ScreenshotParams{
    Apps: []string{"my-slack-app"},
})

fmt.Println(shot.Apps[0].Status) // "finished"

require "screenshotcenter"

client = ScreenshotCenter::Client.new(ENV["SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY"])

shot = client.screenshot.create("https://example.com",
  apps: ["my-slack-app"],
)

# Screenshot is posted to your Slack channel automatically

import io.screenshotcenter.ScreenshotCenterClient;
import io.screenshotcenter.models.*;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

        var shot = client.screenshot().create("https://example.com",
            new ScreenshotParams()
                .apps(List.of("my-slack-app")));

        System.out.println(shot.getApps().get(0).getStatus()); // "finished"
    }
}

using ScreenshotCenter;

var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

var shot = await client.Screenshot.CreateAsync("https://example.com", new ScreenshotParams {
    Apps = new[] { "my-slack-app" },
});

// Screenshot is posted to your Slack channel automatically

The apps[].status field reflects the delivery status once the job completes.

Multiple channels

Create multiple Slack apps in the dashboard — one per channel or team — and reference them by ID in a single request:

apps=slack-releases,slack-qa-team

Each app can be configured with a different channel, message format, and notification preference.

What's included

Image, PDF & video

PNG screenshots, PDF renders, and MP4 videos are all supported — ScreenshotCenter uploads the right file type automatically.

Configurable message text

Set a custom message template per app. Include the captured URL, job ID, or any metadata in the Slack post.

Works with batches

Reference a Slack app in batch requests too — receive a summary post when the entire batch finishes.

Retry on failure

Failed deliveries are retried automatically. You can inspect app delivery status in the screenshot detail view.
