On my slack (Pro), I connected a platform via Integration (API) , to a dedicated channel, where I get messages from myself - so It does not trigger a notification :/
I need to find a way to get notifications when the sender is ...me.
any suggestions?

Hi @Roy Naar
Slack does not send notifications for messages sent by your own user, even if they come via an API/integration. This is expected behavior.
Workarounds:
- Post as a bot/app user instead of your own user (recommended). Messages from bots do trigger notifications.
- Post to a thread and follow the thread to get notifications.
- Use keywords or @mentions (e.g., @here, your user ID, or a custom keyword) in the message text.
- Send the message to a different user or channel, then forward it if needed.
