​
Best practices

Create a dedicated channel for critical findings and enable alerts on it.
Avoid sending all notifications to general channels. This creates noise and leads to ignored alerts.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Check Slack app permissions
  • Verify channel exists
  • Check integration status
  • Tighten your notification rules to filter by severity or tool
  • Route high-volume alerts to a dedicated channel instead of a shared one
