Pinging in Slack for approvals
Our developers often forget to approve in Spacelift. I would hope it would be very easy to add Slack notifications, but I can see its hard to find the right Slack account with only the Git state available

hey @Jonathan Grahl , FYI we recently released the ability for users to connect their Slack/Github/(soon) Teams to their Spacelift user. Once that happens, you can start sending native Slack notifications, according to this documentation, using notification policies: https://docs.spacelift.io/concepts/policy/notification-policy.html#notifying-the-commit-author

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the feedback! The good news is that this is already achievable using Spacelift's notification policies. You can set up Slack notifications that automatically ping your team when runs need approval.
Should I get you in touch with one of our Solutions Engineers to help you set things up exactly how you want them?
