Slack integration
Native Slack app for Pingoru. Rich Block Kit messages when your
upstream providers break, and a /pingoru slash
command for ad-hoc status checks — all without leaving your
workspace.
Free with every Pingoru account. No bot user, no message-content scopes.
When an upstream provider you monitor opens, updates, or resolves an incident, Pingoru posts a rich Block Kit message to the channel you picked during install:
Each alert is filtered against the notification group it belongs to — so you only see incidents on providers you actually care about, at the impact levels you've set.
/pingoru slash commandNeed to check before reporting "is X down?" to your team? Type the slug, hit enter, get the current status:
Typo-tolerant: /pingoru gh finds GitHub, /pingoru aws ec2 drills into a component, /pingoru search openai does a fuzzy multi-result
lookup. Responses are private — only you see them.
Pingoru already supports plain incoming webhooks. The native app adds a few things webhooks can't:
/pingoru slash command. Webhooks are one-way; the app gives you query-on-demand without leaving Slack.app_uninstalled event and stops trying to deliver — no error spam in your audit log.The webhook integration stays available too — it's the right choice for Discord, Teams, internal tooling, or any URL that isn't Slack.
It posts incident alerts directly to your Slack channels (with rich Block Kit messages) and adds a /pingoru slash command for ad-hoc status checks. Two channels of integration: passive notifications when something breaks, and active queries when you want to check before reporting an issue.
Sign into Pingoru at pingoru.io, go to Integrations in your dashboard, click "Add to Slack", choose the channel during Slack's OAuth consent screen, and you're done. Takes about 30 seconds.
No — the Slack app is free for all Pingoru accounts. Free-plan limits on the number of monitors still apply, but the Slack integration itself doesn't cost extra.
Type /pingoru aws in any channel to see the current status of AWS plus any active incidents. /pingoru aws ec2 drills into a specific component. /pingoru search openai does a fuzzy lookup. Responses are ephemeral by default — only you see them.
Yes. Each "Add to Slack" install lets Slack pick one channel per workspace. To deliver to multiple channels, install once per channel — they'll all show up in your Pingoru integrations list. You can then attach different channels to different notification groups.
Two ways: (1) on Pingoru, open Integrations and click "Disconnect" on the Slack row; (2) in Slack, go to your workspace settings → Manage Apps → Pingoru → Remove. Either side syncs cleanly — alerts stop within seconds.
Free with every Pingoru account. Connects to any of your monitored providers — install once, get incident alerts going forward.
