Slack notifications
Notifications are driven by automations: rules that post messages to the right channels at the right time. Typical signals you may want to route to Slack:
A build is ready for review.
Changes are requested.
A build is auto-approved on main.
Only failed or blocking builds.
Notifications include the build status, branch, author, and a direct link to the build.
Example of a Slack notification sent by Argos
URL unfurling in Slack
When you paste an Argos build URL into Slack, Argos automatically unfurls it.
The preview includes:
Build status and outcome
Project and branch
Direct shortcut to open the build in Argos
This works in messages, threads, and shared links, which makes reviews and handoffs easier without extra clicks.
Connect Slack to your team
Connecting your Slack workspace enables URL unfurling and makes Slack available as an automation action.
From the dashboard, select your team from the scope selector.
Go to the team's Settings tab.
Select the Integrations section.
Select Connect to Slack and follow the connection flow.
