Hello! I'm trying to setup slack alerts for the send-report command. I already had an app I used for other stuff like airflow. As such I was trying to reuse that token, and just added my elementary-slack-channel to that app. However I'm faced with this error:
ERROR — Channel elementary-alerts was not found by the Elementary app. Please add the app to the channel.
Is it a requirement for the slack app to be named "Elementary" ? Everything else seems to be configured according to the docs I followed.

Hi @Leonardo Melo! if it's a private channel you need to invite the app itself from within the channel. Did you try that?

Hello! Yes, I think we did that correctly. It showed up as a succesfull add on the channel. So the "Elementary" app name isn't a mandatory thing?
and thanks for the quick answer @Or Avidov 🙂

yeah the Elementary name isn't mandatory.. you just need to make sure that the token has permissions and the slack app that you created was added to the channel. The thing that looks a bit off in the message you shared is that Slack called what you added an integration and I think it should be an app, see my message here as an example -
Maybe make sure it's an app and if not create a new one based on our guide just to rule it out?

Alright, I'll try it out. Thanks again!
