title: Slack Incoming Web Hooks - Send message @channel
body: <p>I am working with Slack API recently and my motive is to send a channel wide message at a certain time by calling a web hook provided by Slack Incoming Web hooks.</p>
  
  <p>I created a web hook and got code from Slack as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"Hey, Its time for meeting!! &lt;#G5CERWGRG|hep_test&gt;", "link_names" : 1}' HOOK_URL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But i cannot notify all in the team by just sending @channel in the message as like we do in normal slack channel chat. If i send @channel in the curl message, it shows as text message in chat, and not as @channel link.</p>
  
  <p>I even tried sending slack channel id <strong>&lt;#G5CERWGRG|hep_test></strong>, as shown in the above curl request. But the message posted isn't notifying all in the group.</p>
  
  <p>Note : I want to keep my channel notification preference as it is (Notify only on mentions)</p>
  
  <p>Note</p>
