Find the custom integration area in Slack. On the page select "Apps & Integration", then click “build” on the upper right. Finally, click “Make a Custom Integration” and select a target channel, then “incoming webhooks”.

curl -X POST --data "payload={"text": "Cool Message"}" https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/XXX/XXX

curl -X POST --data-urlencode 'payload={"channel": "#general", "username": "webhookbot",\
"text": "This is posted to #general and comes from a bot named webhookbot.", "icon_emoji": ":ghost:"}'\
https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/XXX/XXX

Text:
<pre>
payload={"text": "This is a line of text in a channel.\nAnd this is another line of text."}
</pre>

Link:
<pre>
payload={"text": "<https://slack.com>"}
</pre>

Link channel or user:
<#general> or <@ezra>

Incoming webhooks have a default channel, but it can be overridden in your JSON payload. A public channel can be specified with <code>"channel": "#other-channel"</code>, and a Direct Message with <code>"channel": "@username"</code>.
