Firetiger App for Slack
Firetiger is an AI agent platform for production monitoring. Firetiger agents identify and fix problems in production by combining observability data, codebase understanding, and knowledge of your business.
The Firetiger app for Slack connects your Slack workspace to Firetiger so that agents can send real-time notifications and alerts directly to your Slack channels. When an agent detects an issue, investigates a root cause, or deploys a fix, it can post updates to the channels you configure — keeping your team informed without leaving Slack.
AI Disclaimer: Firetiger uses AI agents to analyze observability data and generate insights. AI-generated content, including messages sent to Slack, may occasionally contain inaccurate or incomplete information. Users should verify critical findings independently.
Installation
- Navigate to Integrations in the Firetiger UI
- Click New Connection
- Select Slack as the connection type
- Click Install Slack App
- In the popup, select your Slack workspace and click Allow
The connection will be created automatically with your workspace details.

The Firetiger app for Slack requests the following permissions:

Re-authorization
To update permissions or reconnect a workspace:

Slack scopes are additive - re-authorizing adds new permissions without removing existing ones.

Best Practices
- Use descriptive workspace names - Helps agents select the right workspace when multiple are connected
- Document channel conventions - Include which channels to use for different alert types
- Limit to necessary workspaces - Only connect workspaces that agents need to notify
