Slack for Workflows enables you to model communication flows within Dynatrace through actions like these:
Define various notification triggers
- Use the power of DQL and leverage events to react to any problem, security incident, or attack within workflows.
- Use Business events as a trigger to react on extended events like a failed release validation, certain log messages, or external system events.
- Define a scheduler and be informed at specific time intervals.
Flexible content composing
- Enrich message information with tags, hierarchy details, or any arbitrary entity information.
- Leverage the expression builder for simple message composition.
- Reuse workflow step results, such as creating a Jira ticket and posting the ticket number to a specific group channel.
- Use Slack blocks to format your message.
- Send a test message to ensure that a connection is configured properly.
Closed Loop Communication
- Use ownership information to address the correct user groups and reduce repetitive configurations.
- Update messages within a thread to inform users about changes to a problem state or the progress of a remediation.

Before you start, make sure that Slack is installed, outbound connections are configured, and the connection to Slack is authorized.
