Step 6: Integrate Slack and set up notifications

This guide explains how to integrate Reo.Dev with Slack, and set up alerts for specific developer activities in an account or segment.

Integrating Slack with Reo.Dev

Reo.Dev provides seamless integration with Slack to deliver real-time alerts on developer activity from an account, developer profile, or segments directly within your Slack channel.

Alert Sharing Options in Slack

There are two ways in which you can share alerts to a Slack channel:

• Share alerts with others on a Slack channel: Get notified of all developer activities from corresponding accounts in your preferred public Slack channel. Private Slack channels are not supported due to Slack’s restrictions for unapproved apps, ensuring user privacy and security. This allows you to share updates with your teammates in public channels only.

• Receive alerts to self through the Reo.Dev App: Receive key updates on developer activity from a single or multiple accounts that you choose to follow in Reo.Dev. These alerts will be visible only to you.

User Roles

Please note that we’ve bifurcated user roles for Slack integration.

As an Admin, you can:

1. Setup the connection/integration for Reo.Dev’s Slack app

2. Select a Slack channel to share alerts with teammates

As an Admin and non-admin, you can:

1. Follow an account on Reo.Dev

2. Receive all alerts for that account on the Slack App. These alerts will be visible only to you.
