Lnav workflow approvals in Slack

Integrating Lnav workflow approvals in Slack removes friction from shipping code, deploying changes, or managing sensitive operations. Instead of bouncing between apps, Slack becomes the control room. The request arrives with all relevant context—author, action, logs—pulled directly from Lnav in seconds.

The setup is straightforward. Connect Lnav’s workflow automation to Slack via secure API tokens. Define the approval rules in Lnav: which workflows require sign-off, who can approve them, and what happens after approval. Map these rules to Slack channels or direct messages. When a workflow hits a checkpoint, Lnav sends an interactive Slack message with “Approve” and “Reject” buttons. One click pushes the decision back into Lnav’s state machine, updating logs and triggering downstream actions automatically.

This approach shortens decision loops, reduces deployment delays, and ensures audit trails stay intact. Slack’s native notification system means no missed approvals, and Lnav’s logging ensures every click is recorded. You can tag teammates, attach workflow metadata, or link deeper investigation logs without leaving Slack.

Use Lnav workflow approvals in Slack to keep code reviews, production deploys, and admin tasks flowing without context switching. Centralizing both approval and execution in Slack simplifies process governance and reinforces operational discipline.

Operational speed matters. Compliance matters. With Lnav’s workflow approvals running inside Slack, you get both—without sacrificing control or oversight.
