generating auth token for webhook notification in airbyte

To set up webhook notifications in Airbyte, you don't need to generate an auth token. Instead, you need to have a webhook URL ready. Here are the steps to set up webhook notifications: 1. On the [Airbyte Cloud](http://cloud.airbyte.com) dashboard, click Settings. 2. Click Notifications. 3. Have a webhook URL ready if you plan to use webhook notifications. Using a Slack webhook is recommended. You can [Create an Incoming Webhook for Slack](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks). 4. Toggle the type of events you are interested to receive notifications for. 5. To enable webhook notifications, the webhook URL is required. For your convenience, Airbyte provides a 'test' function to send a test message to your webhook URL so you can make sure it's working as expected. 6. Click Save changes. If you're setting up a Slack webhook, you can follow these steps: 1. Navigate to https://api.slack.com/apps/. Hit
