Slackbot for Risk Alerts
- Graham Langdon
Allstacks connects with Slack to post daily risk alerts to your teams' channels. Every day your teams see exactly what items need attention, keeping everyone on track. Allstacks captures when and who is sending messages — but don’t worry, we are not capturing the contents. We also look at statistics about the messages sent and received.
Allstacks service connection to Slack is established via OAuth.
