Lineman and Slack

Post the weekly digest and spend alerts into a Slack channel.

What this gets you

Lineman posts the weekly cost digest and your spend alerts into a Slack channel, so the number reaches people where they already are rather than waiting in a dashboard nobody has open. The digest gives the week's total, the change against the previous week, and where the movement came from. Alerts arrive as they fire, while there is still time to do something about them.

What people use it for

  • Weekly spend in a channel people read

    Post the weekly digest into a channel people actually read: the week's total, the change against the previous week, and where the movement came from. It is the same shape as the emailed digest, so a team can pick whichever one they will read. A digest in a channel nobody opens is the same as no digest.

  • Alerts while you can still act

    Budget and spike alerts can post to the channel as they fire. A digest tells you what happened last week. An alert tells you while you can still do something about it.

  • Control who sees the numbers

    Posts carry cost figures and the dimensions they break down by, which for most teams means developer names and repository names. Anyone who can read the channel can read those, so the channel choice is an access-control decision. Authorisation is per Slack workspace, and the channel can be changed later without reconnecting.
