Slack has very quickly become the go-to choice for team-based collaboration services for various departments in IT services. Not only does it support third-party applications via its App Directory, but it also has a powerful API that you can use to bring your tools into the chat rooms provided by Slack.

We are going to look at the example in this section, the full playbook, which can be found in the Chapter17/slack folder in the GitHub repository. I have taken the playbook from Chapter 9, Building Out a Cloud Network, where we created a VPC in AWS, and I have adapted it to use the slack Ansible module.
