Why Use AdStatus with Slack?

If your marketing team already lives in Slack, AdStatus brings critical ad platform alerts right where you need them - no switching between tabs or checking status pages.

Instant Notifications

When Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, or Microsoft Advertising experience issues, your team gets notified in Slack within seconds. No more manual status page checking.

Thread Replies

Issue updates and resolutions are posted as thread replies to the original alert, keeping your channel organized and making it easy to follow the status of each incident.

Team Visibility

Everyone on your team sees the same alerts at the same time. No more "did you know Facebook Ads is down?" messages - your whole team stays informed automatically.

Rich Formatting

Alerts use Slack Block Kit for beautiful, easy-to-read notifications with emoji indicators, platform colors, and one-click links to official status pages.

How Slack Integration Works

1
Secure OAuth Connection

Click "Add to Slack" and authorize AdStatus to send messages to your workspace. We use Slack's official OAuth 2.0 flow for maximum security.

2
Choose Your Channel

Select which Slack channel should receive alerts. Most teams use #marketing, #alerts, or #ad-status. You can change this anytime.

3
Start Monitoring

That's it! AdStatus monitors all platforms every 5 minutes and sends alerts to your Slack channel whenever issues are detected.

Slack-Specific Features

Secure & Private

AdStatus only requests the minimum Slack permissions needed: ability to read channels and post messages. We never access your team's message history or private conversations.

Required scopes: channels:read, groups:read, chat:write, chat:write.public

Flexible Configuration

Change your alert channel anytime from the dashboard. Choose public channels or private channels (groups) where the AdStatus bot has been invited.

Tip: Invite @AdStatus to private channels to receive alerts there

Direct Links

Every alert includes a direct link to the official platform status page, so your team can get detailed information with a single click.

Issue Tracking

When issues are resolved, updates are posted as thread replies to the original alert. This keeps a clean history of each incident in one thread.
