      Slack Integration

      Send out notifications to the team.

      Slack is a collaboration hub where teams work together online. On Slack, team members can send messages and share files in channels. It is also used to make audio and video calls. 

      Functionality overview

      Slack integration sends out notifications about TestMonitor test runs and issues through a Slack channel. The Slack notification also contains a link to the test run or issue.

      • Each time a test run is planned or completed, you receive a notification with the test run code, name, milestone, start and end date, priority, and test environment.

      • When a user creates an issue, you receive a notification with the issue code, name, description, category, status, impact, and assignee.

      • When a user posts a comment on an issue, you receive a Slack notification with that comment.

      • You receive a notification if a user updates an issue status. 

      Setup requirements

      • You must have a TestMonitor administrator account.

      • You must have a Slack account.
