Slack Notification Alert Add-on: Error code

Hi,
We are attempting to use the Slack Notification Alert Add-on and seeing errors. We created a test alert and then use the following search to send an alert.

| sendalert slack param.channel="#my-channel" param.message="Testing"

In the logs, we see error code=6 and class 'urllib2.URLError' .
Any idea what the problem could be? We are running Splunk Enterprise version 7.2.4.2.
