SolidPing for Slack
Monitor your services and respond to incidents directly from your Slack workspace. Get alerts, create checks with a slash command, acknowledge incidents, and sign in to the SolidPing dashboard with your Slack identity.
What it does
- Incident alerts in any channel — every check failure, escalation, and recovery, posted where your team already works.
- Create checks from Slack —
/check https://example.comfor a quick HTTP check, or/solidping createfor the full wizard. - Manage incidents from Slack — acknowledge and resolve without leaving the conversation.
- Sign in with Slack — use your Slack identity to log into the SolidPing dashboard.
- Link unfurling — paste a SolidPing check or status-page URL and see live status inline.
- App Home — open the SolidPing tab in Slack to see your active incidents at a glance.

Privacy and data
SolidPing for Slack stores only what's needed to send notifications and run commands: workspace ID and name, configured channel IDs, the bot token (encrypted), and the name and email of users who sign in via Slack or interact with the bot. We do not read or store messages from your channels, and we do not enumerate your workspace's member directory.
If you uninstall the app, we delete associated workspace data within 3 months.
