Slack redirects you back to Runway
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.
Slack slash commands
If you have the Slack integration installed, you can perform various release-related tasks right from within Slack using Runway slash commands.
Use the /runway help command to see a complete list of available commands.
Note that slash commands obey the same access control rules as the Runway app.
