Looking to automate AlertFind Data import? Yes! This is the place to be. Our Slack Connector will make automation a breeze!



In order to perform a successful connection to your Slack instance, we just need the following information and that's it:

  1. Valid Admin username and password: You should provide a valid admin username and password for your Slack instance.

Once we have a successful connection, it will enable us to populate your AlertFind instance with the following information:

  • Display Name
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Phone
  • Email Address
  • Title
  • Skype user
  • Time Zone

How does our Slack connector works:

The below graphic explains the various nodes involved in the transition of data from your Slack instance to AlertFind.

Detailed Steps Explaining Above Graphic:

  1. Slack connector fetches the User information stored in your instance via API.

  2. Based on your chosen frequency, our connector running on AWS Lambda, fetches data from Slack instance.

  3. At this stage, data goes through the validation and processing and is finally transformed into a CSV.

  4. The CSV is compressed to a Zip file and sent to AlertFind API via the AlertFind connector running on AWS Lambda.

Data Storage Nodes in Above Graphic:

  1. Node 5: Refers to Apache Cassandra Cluster which stores the data for execution purposes. It has a TTL of 7 days after workflow execution has finished.

  2. Node 6: Refers to Elastic Search Cluster used for indexing data for 30 days so that it can be searched within the logs interface.

  3. Data Safety: All Data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS, using TLS 1.3 encryption internally. Sensitive customer data, such as access tokens, usernames, passwords are encrypted at rest using Amazon Key Management Service (KMS), which uses FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules.
