Post messages to Slack using your Cutover runbook using Slack’s Web API. To do this, simply create a new task and set the Task Type as “Post Message to Slack”. The message and channel information can be viewed in the Task Detail panel. Just enter your desired message and specify the channel you’d like your message to be posted to.
