Cloud App for Slack
Cloud App for Slack
The Botkube Cloud App for Slack uses Botkube Cloud services to manage channels and route executor commands. This allows multi-cluster support without a need to create a dedicated application for Slack for each cluster. Events and alerts are sent directly from your cluster to your Slack workspace for reliable, fast notifications.
