Team channel
Default general channel
By default, Axolo will create a channel, _axolo where all onboarded engineers will be invited. You can rename it from Slack or disable it from this view.
The first purpose of this channel is to announce every new active pull request. Then, when updates are pushed to the PR, Axolo will update the notification with the new status, reviewers, assignees, and reviews.
Axolo will notify only on active pull requests. Draft pull requests only
create a notification once they are set on Ready for review.
Team-specific channels
Axolo gives you the possibility to create team-specific channels. You can set up team channels upon specific GitHub teams or GitLab sub-groups.
This feature is only available in the business plan. In other plans, you have the possibility to create either a global Axolo channel or a unique team channel.
Notification options
When configuring a team channel, you can choose when to receive notifications:
- Member creates PR: The team channel will be notified when any member of the team creates a new pull request
- Team assigned: The team channel will be notified when the team is assigned as a reviewer on a pull request
Example: You can create a platform-team channel that will only receive new
PR notifications when your Platform team is assigned as reviewers. This allows
the Platform team not to be notified by other pull requests.
The notification options feature is only available for GitHub integrations. GitLab users will continue to receive notifications when team members create pull requests.
Deployments
Axolo will open a dedicated _axolo_deployments channel for deployment notifications. You can select specific deployment status to receive (ex: only receiving failed deployment in Slack would be unselecting "success").
