In Slack
You need to be a workspace owner or administrator within your Slack instance.
How this integration works
- From within Slack, users can trigger and acknowledge OnPage notifications. OnPage message status updates are also returned to the Slack channel from where the message was sent.
- An alert is sent to the subscribed Slack channel when an OnPage alert is generated from outside of Slack. After that, users can take actions from within Slack or OnPage, including acknowledging the message. Within the two systems, these actions are synchronized in both systems.
Slash Commands Available
- /op-help – instructions for using the integration.
- /op-trigger – a dialog box will appear where you can specify OnPage recipients and send messages.
