Slack Incoming Webhooks are the standard path — paying customers configure a webhook URL during onboarding and we push formatted message blocks on the relevant cadence (weekly digest, threshold alerts, or both). For higher-touch deployments, a custom Slack bot with slash-command support is scoped during onboarding.
Every Monday, the GitDealFlow Sunday digest posts into a #deal-flow Slack channel with formatted message blocks for each accelerating company.
When a tracked company crosses the +50% commit-velocity threshold, an Incoming Webhook fires into a dedicated #signals channel with the company name and a link to the /signal page.
A custom Slack bot exposes /gitdealflow {company} that returns the current engineering signal snapshot inline — useful for ad-hoc lookups during partner conversations.
There is no first-party Slack App Directory listing yet. Slack's App Directory submission requires OAuth flow, security review, and proven customer adoption — we are pre-listing-stage. Webhook-based integration covers ~95% of use cases.

Yes. For paid plans, custom integrations into Slack are scoped during onboarding. Submit a demo request via /firstlook with your Slack workflow needs and we will design the integration path together. Most custom paths take 2-4 weeks from scoping to production.
Standard integration paths (CSV, API, MCP, Zapier, RSS, webhook) are included in every paid plan — see /pricing. Custom Slack-native integrations are scoped per engagement and quoted separately.
