Slack Notifications

Appcircle supports sending notifications to Slack for the major events in all modules. You can connect Appcircle to your Slack workspace to set up module based event notifications to be sent to the selected channels.

info

There is currently no Slack integration available on the self-hosted Appcircle. However, we are actively working on it and it will be available for use on the self-hosted Appcircle in the near future.

Connecting Appcircle to Slack​

An Appcircle organization can be associated with a single Slack workspace. To start, go to My Organization > Notifications screen and press the Connect button next to Slack under the Notification Providers section.

Setting Up Module-Based Notifications in the Slack Settings​

You can set up notifications for the major events in each module (Build, Signing Identities, Distribute and Store Submission).

To enable notifications for a specific event, first select the Slack channel that will receive the notifications for the specific module and then use the toggle to enable the event notifications.

caution

Due to a technical limitation, subscribing events to a private Slack channel(s) is not possible at this moment.

info

You can customize which Slack events to get by selecting or deselecting specific events. You can also set different Slack channels for different kinds of events.

Keep scrolling down on Appcircle to see the full list of events.
