Slack

Overview

Stay informed about Fly without leaving Slack. You’ll know the moment a release ships, a deploy lands, or something you watch happens.

From Slack you can:

  • Get the notifications you need. Releases, deployments, and custom watches all land in your channels.
  • Bring the team along. Subscribe channels to the releases and environments your team should track.
  • Ask Fly anything in chat. Queries, searches, and watch management, all in natural language.

Fly meets your team where they already work.

Setup

  1. Connect Fly to your Slack workspace. In Fly Web → Settings, click Connect to Slack and authorize the Fly app. (Admin-level, one time.)

  2. Link your Slack account. Open the Fly Slack app, go to the Home tab, and click Connect to Fly. Now Fly responses in Slack are scoped to you.

Using Fly in Slack

  • /fly — In any Slack channel or DM, type the slash command followed by what you want. Quickest way to ask Fly or set a watch.
  • Fly Slack app — In your Slack sidebar, click the Fly app. The Home tab has connection status, channel subscriptions, and a personal chat space.

Pick whichever fits.

Notifications in Slack

Set a watch on what you care about, and Fly notifies you when something matches. Set watches through /fly, the Fly Slack app, or your coding agent.

Notifications can be delivered as:

  • Personal notification — Fly DMs you when the watch matches.
  • Channel notification — Fly posts in a specific Slack channel.
  • Team notification — Fly notifies your whole team.

Fly notifies you about:

EventWhat you seeExample watch
ReleaseWhat was released, a short summary, when, and by whom.“Notify me when a new release is created for payment-service.”
DeploymentWhat was deployed, the repository, when, the image version, and which environment.“Notify me when a new version is deployed to production.”
DistributionWho distributed it. Where to find it.“Notify me when a new public version of my-app is distributed.”

Ask Fly in Slack

Understand everything happening with your team, directly from Slack. Ask anything through /fly or the Fly Slack app:

  • “What’s the latest release from payment-service?”
  • “Notify me when a new release is created for payment-service.”
  • “Is the login fix live in production?”
  • “List my watches.”
