Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Slack integration take?
Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Install the DeepCost app from the Slack App Directory, authorize it for your workspace, and configure which channels receive cost alerts. You'll start receiving notifications immediately.
What Slack permissions does DeepCost need?
DeepCost requires permissions to post messages to channels, read basic user information, and respond to slash commands. We never read your message history or access private conversations.
How is my cost data secured in Slack?
All communication between DeepCost and Slack uses encrypted HTTPS connections. Cost data in Slack messages is visible only to channel members you designate. We follow Slack's security best practices and SOC 2 compliance standards.
Can I customize which alerts go to which channels?
Yes, you have full control over alert routing. Configure budget alerts to go to finance channels, anomaly alerts to engineering channels, and optimization recommendations to dedicated cost-optimization channels.
Can I use Slack commands to query costs?
Absolutely. Use slash commands like /deepcost status, /deepcost budget, and /deepcost recommendations to query cost data on-demand. Team members can get instant insights without leaving Slack.
