Slack Integration

​

Prerequisites

• A Slack workspace
• Permission to install apps in your Slack workspace

​

Step-by-Step Setup

​

1. Navigate to Integrations

In your Corelayer dashboard, go to the Integrations page.

​

2. Add Slack Integration

Click the Add Integration button and select Slack from the list of available integrations. Click Connect to Slack.

​

3. Authorize Slack Connection

You’ll be redirected to Slack’s OAuth authorization page:

1. Select the workspace you want to connect
2. Review the permissions Corelayer is requesting
3. Click Allow to grant access

​

4. Verify Connection

Once redirected back to Corelayer, your Slack integration should appear as Connected in the integrations dashboard.

​

5. Configure Channels

Select which Slack channels Corelayer should send notifications to:

• Choose existing channels from the dropdown
• Configure notification preferences per channel

​

What Corelayer Can Do With Slack

Once connected, Corelayer will:

• Send real-time notifications when issues are detected
• Post debugging summaries and root-cause analysis to your channels
• Deliver digest messages with aggregated issue reports
• Create scheduled tasks from Slack, including recurring checks and one-shot reminders
• Route notifications to the channels you configured

​

Scheduled Tasks From Slack

You can ask Corelayer in Slack to run a task on a schedule and post the result back to the same channel. Examples:

• “Every weekday at 9am, post a summary of open critical issues”
• “Every hour, check whether new high-severity issues appeared”
• “Remind me in 20 minutes to check this issue again”

Corelayer supports recurring schedules, fixed intervals, and one-shot reminders. If your request uses a local time, include the timezone so Corelayer can schedule it correctly. Scheduled runs are read-only: they can investigate, summarize, and report back to Slack, but they cannot change settings or create additional scheduled tasks.

​

Managing Your Integration

​

Disconnecting

To disconnect your Slack integration:

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations
2. Find your Slack integration and click Uninstall
3. Confirm the uninstallation
4. Optionally, remove the Corelayer app from your Slack workspace settings

​

Troubleshooting

​

Integration Not Working?

• Verify the Corelayer app is installed in your Slack workspace
• Ensure the bot has been invited to the channels you’ve configured
• Check that your Slack workspace permissions allow third-party app installations
• Try reinstalling the integration if notifications are not appearing
