Setting Up Slack Integration

Follow these simple steps to configure your PlayerZero Slack integration:

​
1. Enable Slack Integration

In your PlayerZero account:

  • Navigate to the Settings tab

​
2. Authenticate with Slack

  • You’ll be redirected to Slack’s authorization screen
  • Review and approve the requested permissions for the PlayerZero bot

​
3. Configure Channel Prefix (Optional)

After enabling Slack, you’ll have the option to configure a Channel Prefix.
This prefix helps PlayerZero automatically create and organize dedicated alert channels in your workspace.

  • Channel Prefix: Optional. Add up to 4 alphanumeric characters (no dash at the end).
  • Helps identify release-related channels by project.
  • Especially useful when managing multiple projects within the same Slack workspace.

Example: Setting a prefix like web- would create channels such as #web-release-alerts.
