Stay in the Loop: Tower Now Integrates with Slack

Monitoring your runs shouldn’t feel like a game of inbox whack-a-mole. While email and in-app notifications have their place, we know that for many of you, Slack is where the actual work happens.

Based on popular demand from customers, we’re excited to announce that Tower now supports Slack notifications. Let’s be honest: nobody likes babysitting a long run. With this integration, you get instant, actionable alerts directly in your team’s Slack channels. No waiting around - go get that 2nd cup of coffee. ☕

What’s available now:

• Fail Alerts: Currently, the integration notifies you immediately when a run fails.

• UI-Driven Setup: No CLI gymnastics required. It’s a simple "click-to-consent" flow within the Tower app, so you can get set up in 5 minutes.

• Channel Customization: Connect your org and choose exactly which channels receive the pings.

How to connect Slack and Tower

1. In the Tower app, go to the home page.
   a. In the top-right, select your profile menu.
   b. Select Organization Settings.

What’s next?

Stop babysitting your runs and start trusting your alerts. Tower’s new Slack integration is designed to give you your time back, notifying you only when a run actually needs your attention so you can focus on literally anything else. It’s a simple, UI-driven setup: authorize Slack, pick your channels, and send a test message to confirm you’re good to go. We’re starting with failure alerts, but we want to know what else helps you stay productive. Join the conversation on Discord and let us know what notification types we should build next!
