Slack
Connect Slack to Bluebricks for rich link previews, interactive environment actions, and automated approval notifications.
Overview
The Bluebricks Slack integration brings your infrastructure workflows directly into Slack, making it easy for teams to collaborate, review changes, and act on environments without leaving their communication channel. By connecting Slack to Bluebricks, your workspace gains rich previews of Bluebricks links, interactive environment actions, and automated system messages that help streamline approval flows and team visibility.
The integration ensures that important environment 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
Collection 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 environment 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 environment without requiring you to navigate to the browser.
The sidebar allows you to:
View detailed environment information, including status, collection, blueprint, and recent runs
Inspect plan and apply details, giving you full visibility into pending or completed changes
Take action when required—if an environment is awaiting approval, the sidebar displays Approve and Reject buttons directly in Slack
The sidebar is built to streamline collaboration by making environment information instantly accessible during Slack discussions, reducing context switching and enabling faster decision-making.
