I need to configure Jenkins to send notification on our Slack channel #builds. I configured the Jenkins CI integration in Slack. As a result, I have a token "abcdefgh666", and when I expand the "Setup instructions", I can see our team domain is "mysuperteam". We connect to slack with the url http://mysuperteam.slack.com
I am stuck on step 3. On Slack doc, the screenshot is the following:
But in our Jenkins version, the view looks like:
Obviously, the Test Connection button always return a Failure. In Jenkins logs, I have this many times:

I tried using the credentials menu to avoid putting the token directly, I tried to put "slack.com" in "Base URL" field, I tried to check or uncheck the "Is Bot User ?" field, and I tried to put "http://mysuperteam.slack.com" in "Base URL" field.
Is my configuration correct ? What could prevent Jenkins to connect to Slack ?
leave "baseUrl" empty, and save before test via "TestConnection".
