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.

  • Choose a bug bounty program that needs to be connected to your Slack space
  • Navigate to the Integrations section and press the Slack app:

  • Choose your preferred Slack channel and press the Allow button:

Good to know
