Slack Integration

Using Slack + Codecov allows you to create notifications for PRs with code coverage data and changes directly into channels of your choosing.

Example Slack Notification from Codecov

Example Slack Notification from Codecov

Getting started

The first step to integrating Codecov with Slack is to download the Slack app here: https://slack.codecov.io/slack/install.

Once you have installed the app, you will need to authenticate from Slack to your code host. You can do this by typing /codecov login.

You can also logout using /codecov logout.

Interacting with the app

All commands are given using slash commands in Slack's message editor.

All commands can be found by typing /codecov help - using this will enable you to dive in without having to split screen between these docs and your Slack instance.

There's a variety of different parameters you can pass Codecov, these parameters allow you to fine tune the response you receive to exactly what you're looking for. The table below uses the Codecov org in Github as the example with aj-codecov as a user.
