Slack
Slack is a team chat that promises a simpler, more pleasant, and more productive communication in your teams and company.
Tideways intregates with Slack to forward alerts about response-time degradation and failure rate increases directly to a Slack channel.
You can integrate with Slack through the Tideways Slack App, or manually with the Incoming Webhook integration.
