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.
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 screen and press the "Connect" button next to Slack under the "Connections" section.

Provide permission to the Appcircle app on Slack so that the channel list can be fetched for selection and the status can be sent as a message.

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