Slack

Installing the integration

You will need permission to install external applications in the workspace. If you don’t have it, Slack will display a form to request authorization from the administrator.

1. Go to Settings > Notifications > Integrations.
2. In the Slack integration, click Install.
3. Authorize the integration on the Slack screen.

If you need to request permission from the workspace administrator, we suggest the following message:

I request permission to install the integration with the Glass Data platform (https://glassdata.io). This integration will send monitoring alerts to selected channels and will have no read permissions in the workspace.

Creating a notification channel

1. Go to Settings > Notifications > Notification channels > New notification channel.
2. In the Type field, select Slack.
3. In the Integration field, select the installed workspace.
4. Fill in the Channel name without #.
5. Click Create.

To test the channel after creating it, use ⋮ > Send test.

Private channels

If the channel is private, the bot will not be added automatically. Before creating the notification channel, join the channel and run:

/invite @Glass Data
