Integrate slack with Middleware to get alert notifications on your slack channels. With this integration, you can customize alerts and get notifications in any channel or thread on your slack.

Prerequisites

  1. Slack account with admin access.
  2. Middleware account with access to the integration section.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up slack integration with middleware account. 

  1. Login to Middleware account and navigate to the slack integration under installation section.
    Login -> Installations -> Integrations -> slack

  2. Clicking on slack will redirect you to slack login page.

  3. You will be redirected to the Slack integration page. Here, you need to allow the alert module to access your Slack account and channel list. This will enable the module to send notifications to the appropriate channel(s).

  4. After authorization, slack gets connected to your Middleware account.
