Slack

Invopop’s Slack app helps you keep your team updated by sending automated messages to a Slack channel of your choice. For instance, you might want to receive a message when one of your job executions fails:

In this example, you will receive in your Slack channel #random a message like Job fe094ad0-3e12-11ef-bfd5-15fe9005edf3 failed! when the PDF generation fails.
