Slack Bot

Definitions

1. An automated program that interacts with Slack's API to listen for events (messages, reactions, slash commands) and respond or take actions within a Slack workspace — commonly used for deploy notifications, incident management, on-call paging, and workflow automation.

   In plain English: An automated assistant inside Slack that can respond to messages, send notifications, or perform tasks when triggered.

   Example: "The Slack bot posts a deploy summary to #releases every time the CI pipeline finishes, with a rollback button if something looks off."
