Slack for Compass

[#1]

Hello, wonderful Compass beta users! 



Shu from Compass here. Today, we’re happy to announce that the first version of the Slack app for Compass is now available. You can share a link to a Compass component in any Slack channel or a direct message to a user and the link will unfurl to reveal important information on the component such as; the owner, description, when the component was updated and by whom, and more. 

To get started, install the Slack app on Compass and make sure you’ve got it configured. Ensure that you’re an admin on the Slack organization you want to connect with Compass, and that you’re an admin on Compass. Once the Slack app on Compass is installed and configured, you can begin sharing an unfurled component link. Learn more about getting started with the Slack app here.

Future plans
Let us know where you’d like to see the Slack app for Compass go next. Currently the team is hard at work exploring Compass notifications for Slack (pictured below):

• Announcements from upstream dependencies
• Changes to a component scorecard
• Tracking interrupt metrics for your team through Slack

Let us know if you have thoughts, feedback or questions. Until then, stay tuned for more information!

Announcements to Slack is a must-have, looking forward to it!

Is there any ETA on these? They would be a massive win.
