Slack

Set up

Navigate to the Integration settings view

  1. Select an app in the top left corner from the Switcher

  2. Navigate to App Settings by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) at the top of the Timeline sidebar

  3. Click on Integrations in the sidebar

Connect Slack

  • Find the Slack integration module under the Notifications section

  • Click the Connect button

  • You’ll be taken through a standard Slack app OAuth flow

You must be logged into Slack as a member of the workspace you want to integrate with; approval from Workspace Owners may be required if that setting is turned on.

  • Slack redirects you back to Runway

    1. Select the Primary channel you want notifications to go to. You can select or enter multiple channels.

Runway can send notifications to a private Slack channel once it has access to the channel, via one of these methods:

  • In Slack, send a message to the private channel using the @Runway Slack handle

  • In Slack, click on the user count icon at the top right of the private channel, then Integrations > Add an app. Search for Runway and click Add

Once the Runway app has been added, return to Runway, and the private channel name will now be available as an option in Runway integration settings for Slack.

You can either manually cherry-pick the work item into your release branch, or if you have the Pull (cherry-pick) fixes into the release automation enabled, Runway will automatically take care of pulling the fix into the release via cherry-pick.
