Integrating Argos with Slack

Argos integrates with Slack to keep your team aligned on visual changes and reviews.
It sends notifications and also unfurls Argos build URLs directly inside Slack.

note

Slack integration is available on Pro and Enterprise plans

What you get​

  • Automatic Slack notifications when builds are created, reviewed, approved, or rejected
  • Rich previews when pasting an Argos build URL in Slack
  • Fine grained control using Automations conditions

Slack notifications​

Use Automations to post messages in 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 build status, branch, author, and a direct link to the build.

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.
