This guide will walk you through how to set up the Slack integration, which powers our alerting. Coalesce Quality is available as a native Slack application through the marketplace, making it easy to integrate.To be able to finish this guide, you’ll need:
→ Permission to install Slack 3rd party applications. Slack allows this by default. If your workspace uses app approval, ask your workspace administrator to approve the app.⏱️ Estimated time to finish: 5 minutes.
To ensure we adhere to the principle of the least privilege, we request only minimal permissions to send Slack messages. We require the following permissions:
  • Content and info about channels & conversations (View emoji reactions and their associated content in channels and conversations that the app has been added to)
  • Perform actions in channels & conversations (Send messages as @synq, send messages to channels @synq isn’t a member of, view messages that directly mention @synq in conversations that the app is in)

Slack Enterprise Grid

On Enterprise Grid, install Coalesce Quality into one Slack workspace. When Slack asks where to install the app, keep A workspace selected. Coalesce Quality rejects an install for the whole organization. If the app is already installed at the organization level, a Slack org admin must first remove that install under Manage apps. Then install it into one workspace.
