Slack

Install the Slack integration and create a notification channel to receive monitor alerts in a channel of the workspace. Messages are sent in the account’s language and present the alert rating buttons. See Ratings.

Installing the integration

You need permission to install external applications in the workspace. Without that permission, Slack displays 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.

Suggested message for the permission request to the workspace administrator:

I request permission to install the integration with the Glass Data platform (https://glassdata.io). This integration will send monitoring alerts to the 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

The bot is not added automatically to a private channel. Before creating the notification channel, join the channel and run:

/invite @Glass Data
