Slack
Overview
The Bluebricks Slack integration brings your infrastructure workflows directly into Slack, making it easy for teams to collaborate, review changes, and act on deployments without leaving their communication channel. By connecting Slack to Bluebricks, your workspace gains rich previews of Bluebricks links, interactive deployment actions, and automated system messages that help streamline approval flows and team visibility.
The integration ensures that important deployment information is surfaced where your team is already working, reducing context switching and accelerating response times for critical changes.
What the Integration Does
Rich Link Previews
Whenever a message contains a link to app.bluebricks.co or bluebricks.co, Slack automatically displays a detailed preview powered by the Bluebricks integration. These previews include:
Run status
Environment details
Blueprint details
Associated Cost (if applicable)
This provides instant visibility into infrastructure operations directly within Slack conversations.
Slack Sidebar Experience
The Bluebricks Slack integration includes a powerful sidebar view that gives you deeper insight into any deployment directly within Slack. When you click on a Bluebricks link preview, Slack opens an interactive sidebar that provides a rich, real-time view of the deployment without requiring you to navigate to the browser.
The sidebar allows you to:
View detailed deployment information, including status, environment, blueprint, and recent runs
Inspect plan and apply details, giving you full visibility into pending or completed changes
Take action when required—if a deployment is awaiting approval, the sidebar displays Approve and Reject buttons directly in Slack
The sidebar is built to streamline collaboration by making deployment information instantly accessible during Slack discussions, reducing context switching and enabling faster decision-making.
