Notification Providers

InfraKitchen integrates with messaging and notification platforms to keep your team informed about infrastructure events, workflow completions, and resource state changes.

Notification integrations allow InfraKitchen to send alerts and updates directly to the channels your team already uses, so engineers are notified the moment something important happens — without having to poll the dashboard.

Slack

Integrate Slack with InfraKitchen to receive real-time notifications about infrastructure events. This integration allows InfraKitchen to post messages to Slack channels when workflows complete, resources change state, or alerts are triggered.

Create a Slack App

Follow Slack’s official guide to create an app from app settings. Create the app From scratch, give it a name (e.g. InfraKitchen), and select the Workspace where the app will be installed.

While creating the app, under OAuth & Permissions → Scopes → Bot Token Scopes, add each of the following required scopes:

OAuth Scope Description
channels:read View basic information about public channels in a workspace
chat:write Send messages as @InfraKitchen
groups:read View basic information about private channels that InfraKitchen has been added to
users:read View people in a workspace
users:read.email View email addresses of people in a workspace

Install the App to Your Workspace

Still on the OAuth & Permissions page, scroll up to the OAuth Tokens section and click Install to Workspace, then allow the requested permissions. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token — it starts with xoxb-.

Invite the Bot to Channels (Optional)

For InfraKitchen to post to a specific channel, the bot must be a member of that channel: type /invite @InfraKitchen (or whatever name you chose for your app) in the channel and confirm the invitation.

This is required for private channels and recommended for public channels to ensure reliable delivery.

Add the Credentials to InfraKitchen

InfraKitchen path: /integrations/slack/setup

Field Description
Integration Name A unique name for this integration (e.g., slack-infra-alerts)
Description Brief description of the Slack workspace or channel purpose
Labels Tags such as slack, notifications, or alerts
Bot Token The xoxb- token copied from the OAuth & Permissions page

Test the Connection

  1. Click Test Connection in the InfraKitchen setup form.

  2. InfraKitchen will call the Slack API to verify the token and check that the required scopes are granted.

  3. If successful, you will see a confirmation message.

  4. If the test fails, verify:

    • The Bot Token starts with xoxb- and has not been revoked.
    • All five required Bot Token Scopes are listed under OAuth & Permissions.
    • The app has been installed (not just created) in the target workspace.
