Integration
Connect Buildkite and Slack
When New build fires in Buildkite, your agent runs Send Direct Message in Slack, or New Channel in Slack to Add annotation in Buildkite. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
