2. Toggle the switch to On.

Step 3: Create a Webhook URL

2. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace.
3. A screen will prompt you to choose a channel (e.g., #events-rsvps). Select it and click Allow.
4. You will be redirected back to the app settings. You will now see a new Webhook URL in the list.
5. Click Copy next to the URL. (It will look something like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000...)

Step 4: Save in Invitly

1. Go to your Invitly dashboard.
