Slack

Overview

OneLens integrates with Slack so you can receive Anomaly Alerts, Ticket Notifications, Cost Alerts, and Resource Digests directly in your Slack workspace. This enables near real-time visibility into key events without leaving your team’s communication tool.

You can configure workflows to send alerts to specific users or channels, including private ones.

Prerequisites

Setting Up Slack in OneLens

OneLens uses a trusted third-party provider, Truto, to securely connect with Slack.

Required Slack Permissions

The following permissions are required for enabling slack integration:
Permission Scope

Privacy Note

OneLens does not access, read, or store your messages or files. The integration uses these permissions only to retrieve basic metadata like user names, emails, and channel names—solely to enable alert routing. There is no ongoing data pull or background monitoring beyond the messages OneLens sends as alerts.
