Direct answer
To get FEC filing alerts in Slack, connect an Incoming Webhook to your war-room channel and scope alerts to committees on your watchlist. Pachand posts human-readable filing summaries with receipts and cash-on-hand deltas when opponents file — alongside email delivery.
Setup workflow
- Create a Slack Incoming Webhook for your channel (Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks).
- Paste the webhook URL in Pachand Settings → Notifications.
- Build your committee watchlist for the race.
- Enable filing alerts — test with the built-in test alert button.
What each Slack alert includes
- Committee name and report type in plain language
- Receipts and cash-on-hand vs. the prior filing
- Filing-type intelligence — no misleading $0 notices on non-financial forms
- Same deduplication rules as email and the daily digest

Frequently asked questions
- Can I get FEC filing alerts in Slack?
- Yes. Pachand delivers watchlist-scoped FEC filing alerts to a Slack channel using an Incoming Webhook URL you configure in Settings. Alerts include human-readable summaries and period-over-period receipts and cash-on-hand deltas alongside email delivery.
- How is Slack delivery different from FEC Notify?
- FEC Notify sends official free emails when selected committees file. Pachand adds team-channel delivery, watchlist scoping, financial deltas, filing-type intelligence, and links to your command desk — on the same public FEC data.
- Do I need a paid Slack plan?
- Incoming Webhooks work on standard Slack workspaces. You need permission to add an integration to your war-room channel.
