Slack
Send a message to a Slack channel with the status of a job
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.
How to use
For this explanation, we assume you already have a Slack Workspace created.
1. Connect to your Slack Workspace

This confirms that the connection was successful.
