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:
