Integrating with Slack
When you integrate with Slack, Dead Man's Snitch alerts will post
notifications to your Slack channel. In addition, you'll be able to use
/dms slash commands to check up on your snitches.
Setup
Integrating with Slack is easy and should take less than a minute.
- Click on Integrations from the navigation bar
-
Click on the Add button for Slack
-
You'll be taken to Slack.com,
where you'll choose which team account you want to give Dead Man's Snitch access to and which channel you would like to post to.
-
That's it! Dead Man's Snitch is now integrated with Slack and notifications will post to the selected Slack channel.
Slash Commands
Slash commands can be used to check up on your snitches. Just type
/dms followed by a command for snitch information to be
delivered right to your slack channel.
Configuration
You may need to configure your existing Slack integration to allow slash commands. When you visit your account settings, your existing integrations will have an option to upgrade to use slash commands if this needs to be done. If you don't see the link, you're all set! Updating is as simple as clicking on the upgrade link, and repeating the same steps you took when you added your integration.
