WHY IT MATTERS
Why Send Server Alerts to Chat?
Email gets buried
An SSL failure in a busy inbox can wait days. A message in the team channel gets seen.
The whole team sees it
Everyone in the channel sees the alert, so nobody has to forward it.
Feed your own tools
Send alerts to a ticket queue, an incident tool or an automation with a webhook.
