Slack Notifications
DeviceCloud can post a pass/fail summary to a Slack channel every time a test run completes, so your team finds out about failures without checking the console.
Slack is configured once per organization from the DeviceCloud console — there is nothing to add to your config.yaml or CI pipeline.
Connecting Slack
Head to the console settings page and open the Notifications section.
Click Connect Slack. You'll be redirected to Slack to authorize DeviceCloud for your workspace.
After you approve, you'll be returned to the console.
Pick the channel you want notifications posted to and click Save.
DeviceCloud requests only the permissions it needs to list your channels and post messages. It cannot read your messages.
Sending a test message
Once a channel is selected, use Send test to post a sample message to that channel and confirm everything is wired up. The test uses data from your most recent run when available.
Only notify on failures
By default DeviceCloud posts after every completed run. To cut down on noise, turn on Only notify on failures in the Slack section — passing runs will then be skipped and you'll only get a message when a run has at least one failed flow.
What's in the message
Each notification includes:
An overall passed / failed status.
The test suite (upload) name, pass/fail counts, and total duration.
Run environment: app ID, device & OS (e.g. Android · Pixel 7 · API 34), Maestro version, and runner type.
A list of failed flows (with their failure reason, where available).
A View results in DeviceCloud link to the run in the console.
Git / CI context
When a run carries git metadata, the message also shows a line with the repository, branch, a linked commit, and a linked pull request.
This is populated automatically when you run in CI, or when you pass the git flags to the CLI:
The line only appears when at least one of these values is present, and the commit/PR become clickable GitHub links when a --repo-name is supplied.
Disconnecting
Click Disconnect in the Slack section to stop notifications and revoke DeviceCloud's access to your workspace. You can disconnect and reconnect at any time.
