Cloud Manager’s Alerts are a key feature, useful for keeping tabs on your deployment and alerting you when things have gone awry. We support a large number of notification services, including email, SMS, HipChat, and even Webhooks. The Cloud Manager team is proud to announce the addition of Flowdock and Slack to the long list of supported alert channels.
