Slack notifications

You can configure Slack notifications on the account, team and project level.

After you've connected your Flare account to Slack, you can specify in which Slack channel the Flare notifications should be sent. When you specified a channel you can send a test message by clicking "Send test".

If you've chosen a private channel, you'll need to invite the Flare app to the channel. You can do this by typing /invite @flareapp in the channel.

Here's an example of a notification that gets sent to Slack. Notice that at the bottom of the notification there are buttons that allow you to resolve and snooze the error right from Slack.

Link previews

Flare can show a preview when someone posts a Flare link in Slack. This works for links to an error, an error occurrence, and a project's errors, performance or settings pages.

Link previews use a separate Slack connection from notifications. To turn them on, go to Account → Slack and click "Add to Slack".

Each Slack user connects their own Flare account. When someone who has not connected yet posts a Flare link, Slack asks them to connect. After they do, Flare adds the preview to the link they just posted.

Flare only creates a preview when the person who posted the link can see that project or error in Flare.
