SPF Validator API + Slack Integration

Why connect them

The SPF Validator API in Slack.

Slack is where work happens for millions of teams. Integrating APIs with Slack enables intelligent notifications, automated alerts, and data-rich messages. Transform your channels into real-time dashboards and keep your team informed with contextual, actionable information.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Send instant alerts when a monitored website's SSL certificate is expiring

Post daily weather forecasts to team channels for field workers

Notify sales teams when a lead's email is validated as deliverable

Alert DevOps when DNS changes are detected on critical domains

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New domain added (via webhook) Validate SPF → alert if has_issues is true

Alert on SPF validation failures

Post a Slack alert when a newly added domain has SPF issues. Include the spf_record, issues_found, and dns_lookups_num in the alert.

Scheduled daily Validate SPF for monitored domains → post summary

Daily SPF health digest

Post a daily digest to Slack listing all domains where spf_valid is false or has_issues is true, with the issues_found details.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Slack as the trigger app and "New message" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the SPF Validator API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Slack action for "Send message" and map the returned fields (like host) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Slack module set to "New message". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/spfvalidator with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Slack module for "Send message". Map fields like data.host into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Slack trigger node for "New message" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/spfvalidator using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Slack node for "Send message" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.host }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
