Requirements

Using the Blue Matador Slack integration requires either an active trial or paid account. Contact sales to get started.  You will also need to meet the following requirements:

  • An existing Slack account to use with the integration

  • Permissions in your Slack workspace to add integrations

Setup Process

1. Log in to Blue Matador and navigate to the Notifications page via Setup > Notifications.

2. Expand the Slack dialog by clicking on the Connect button on the Slack tile.

3. Click the Add to Slack button.

4.Select the Channel that Blue Matador can post to, then click Authorize.

5. Choose which events will be sent to your Slack channel. You can choose to see only events of a certain severity or, if you have Projects enabled, you can make the same choices by project.

6. In the Send Test Message step, click the Test button to verify that Blue Matador has correct permissions to post in the channel you selected.

7. Save your integration.

Troubleshooting

If you are not receiving Blue Matador events in Slack, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Ensure that the Blue Matador app has not been removed or had its permissions changed in your Slack account.

2. Check that the event matches the severities you’ve selected in Step 5 of the setup process. For example, if the event was a Warning, make sure that you have Warnings checked. If you’ve configured Projects, make sure that the event matches both the severity and the projects you’ve selected.

3. Check that the event has not been hidden by your Mute Rules.

4. If you are still unable to receive notifications through Slack, you should contact your account manager to have our engineering team look into it.
