March 2019 Summaries

Rollbar enhances its integration with Slack, allowing users to take real-time actions on exceptions directly within Slack, which supports continuous delivery and DevOps best practices. Previously limited to read-only alerts, the new functionality enables users to assign exceptions to teammates, resolve, mute, reopen items, and set their severity levels, provided they are logged into Rollbar. This integration ensures a comprehensive audit trail and restricts updates to team members with Rollbar access. To enable these Slack actions, users need to update their authorization token with a new scope, which is easily done through a link in the app. The feature is enabled by default for new projects, and users can customize its activation at the project or notification rule level. Rollbar encourages feedback and queries regarding this integration through email or in-app chat support.
