Slack

Connecting Hawkeye to your Slack account allows you to get alerts from your Slack workspace. This integration ensures efficient communication by keeping your team informed on important incidents and events.

For an easy connection, you will authenticate using a Slack App that you create within your Slack workspace.

Note

For each step, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. You can check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up your Slack connection!
