Kelverion Integration Module for Slack

Bring Slack conversations into your Azure Automation runbooks. The Kelverion Integration Module for Slack gives Azure Automation and Kelverion Runbook Studio customers a faster, simpler way to trigger, track and respond to operational activity in Slack—without writing custom PowerShell for every interaction.

Slack is a business collaboration platform that brings people, projects, knowledge and workflows together in one place. Teams use Slack channels, direct messages, file sharing, huddles, apps and integrations to replace fragmented email threads with organised, searchable conversations that help work move faster.

For IT operations, service desk and automation teams, Slack is often where alerts are discussed, approvals are requested, incidents are coordinated and status updates are shared. That makes Slack a natural front door for automation: the place where people already work, collaborate and expect timely responses.

Typical Automation Scenarios

• Incident Notification and Escalation
  Post alerts, ticket updates and escalation messages into dedicated Slack channels when a runbook detects an operational issue
• Service Desk Ticket Creation
  Convert Slack notifications or selected message events into incident tickets in connected service desk systems
• Ticket Update Loops
  Update incident records with responses captured from Slack conversations, keeping the service desk and operational teams aligned
• Approval and Request Workflows
  Notify approvers in Slack and use responses to continue or stop an automated service request process
• Monitoring-Triggered Remediation
  Monitor for new messages or alerts in Slack and trigger automated runbooks that gather diagnostics, restart services or route the issue to the correct team
• Status Communications
  Send start, progress, success and failure messages from Azure Automation runbooks to stakeholders in Slack
