How the connection HackenProof -> Slack works

This guide explains how our Slack bot can help companies when they run a bounty program at HackenProof.

As you know, HackenProof uses a ticket-based system that has different stages of reports processing.

Once you connect your bug bounty program to your Slack server, the bot will send notifications about the following:

• new reports (that includes the Program name, Report title, Report severity, and Report URL)

• report status changes

• report severity changes

Note! The Slack bot will not re-send messages when changes happen. The bot will change the previous message that is related to a specific report.
