🐾Integrate Slack notifications into your workload🐾

❓How do you monitor errors or alerts for your workloads? Do you notice them immediately? Do your colleagues need to text you?

💬 I think it is more convenient to be notified via Slack than via email because it is more frequently used during the day.

Ways to integrate Slack notifications into your workloads:

1️⃣  Use AWS ChatBot integration with Slack
You can configure notifications using AWS Chatbot, SNS topic and EventBridge rule. The only limitation is that you cannot configure custom messages.

2️⃣  Use Slack webhook to post messages
You can create a webhook in Slack and post messages to it from your application. It is beneficial when you want to send notifications from Lambda or Fargate. Using this approach, you can customize your notification and even add approval buttons to it.
