The Detail Slack integration posts bug reports and scan summaries directly to your Slack channels, so your team stays informed without needing to check the dashboard. You can also publish individual bug findings to any channel manually, right from the bug detail view.

​
Connecting Slack

1

Open the integration settings

Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack in the Detail dashboard.
2

Authorize Detail

Click Connect and authorize Detail for your Slack workspace. You’ll be redirected to Slack to complete the OAuth flow and grant the necessary permissions.
3

Choose your default channel

Select the default channel where Detail should post bug notifications and scan summaries. You can change this at any time from the integration settings.

​
What gets posted automatically

Once connected, Detail posts the following to your default channel without any extra action on your part:
  • New bug reports — includes the bug title, affected file, severity, and a direct link to the full report in the Detail dashboard
  • Scan completion summaries — a brief message after each scan run showing how many new bugs were found across your repositories
  • Published bug reports — when you manually publish a bug to Slack, the full report card is posted to the channel you select

​
Publishing a bug to Slack manually

To share a specific bug with your team, open the bug detail view and click Publish → Slack. Select the channel from the dropdown and click Post. The message includes the bug title, summary, severity, file location, and a deep link back to Detail. This is useful for escalating high-severity findings, flagging security vulnerabilities to a dedicated security channel, or sharing context with a specific team.
Slack reactions and replies on published bug messages are tracked by Detail and reflected back in the bug’s activity feed on the dashboard, giving you a full audit trail without switching tools.
