StackState SaaS

Overview

The Slack StackPack allows you to receive event notifications in Slack channels. The StackPack installs a number of event handler functions that can be used when adding an event handler to a view in StackState.

  • Event handlers added to a StackState view run an event handler function in response to events that are generated in StackState.

  • A Slack event handler function sends an alert to the specified Slack Webhook URL with details of the generated event.

  • An alert appears in the Slack channel associated with the specified Slack Webhook.

Setup
