Instead of making the Slack webhook integration via the API, just allow users to put in a Slack URL. That way any other service which can emulate the Slack webhook schema can use the webhook feature.
As an example Discord has webhooks and if you add "/slack" to the end of a Discord webhook URL then it will parse the data as Slack does.
Currently I cannot use Updown with Discord. I also suspect that many other programs have an option to parse data like Slack so you could knock out a few webhook integrations in one simple step.

Not sure if "replacing" functionality is the right approach here, but I would love support for slack webhooks for the reasons stated above.
It would allow people to use Discord as well as other services that support "slack-like" webhook pushes or use one of the many services that can proxy slack webhook pushes to another service.
Champion, thanks for the heads up Adrien. Looking forward to it!
I forgot to mark this task as complete but this feature is actually in production since May 2019.
