Less Noise, More Flexibility: New Slack Notification & Emoji Options

🙉 Less Noise, More Flexibility: New Slack Notification & Emoji Options

We heard your feedback and made some adjustments to provide greater control and flexibility around how you configure Rootly in Slack. All of these can be easily adjusted in your Slack integration settings page. Here’s what’s new:

You can now disable user tagging on default threaded updates, like automatic timeline events. This can be adjusted by toggling “Mention user on timeline events” on or off based on your preferences. This can reduce noise for incident responders, while still providing confirmation that automated actions have been completed successfully.

You’re also no longer required to use the default emojis to perform actions in your Slack integration—you can now assign any emoji you want to pin events to the timeline, create a task, or mark as a follow-up action item. You can even assign multiple emojis to perform these actions!
