Overview

nOps can deliver reports and scheduled results to Slack and Microsoft Teams channels, so your team sees cost updates where they already work — no inbox required. Delivery is powered by Knock, the same engine behind nOps email notifications. You connect a workspace once in Settings → Notifications, then choose channels when you send or schedule a report from Explorer, Recommendations, or the Clara Feed.
This is one-way delivery of reports and scheduled results. To ask Clara questions in Slack (@mentions, DMs, follow-up threads), see the conversational Clara Slack Agent instead.
Microsoft Teams delivery is in beta. During beta, a Teams administrator must install the nOps app in your tenant before messages can be delivered. Slack is generally available.

​
How it works

  • An nOps administrator connects Slack and/or Teams once, at the organization level.
  • Connected channels become available in the channel picker on every report and schedule dialog.
  • When a report is sent (immediately or on a schedule), nOps posts the result to each selected channel, alongside any email recipients.
  • Scheduled deliveries reuse the channels you saved, so recurring reports keep landing in the same place.

​
Connect Slack

1

Open notification settings

Sign in to clara.nops.io with an account that can manage your organization, then go to Settings → Notifications.
2

Connect your workspace

In the Slack panel, click Connect Slack and complete the OAuth flow. The panel shows a Connected status when finished.
3

Pick channels (optional)

Add the nOps app to any channels you want to deliver to. You can set default channels so new reports are pre-filled with your team’s preferred destinations.
4

Send a test message (optional)

Use Send test to confirm a channel is wired up correctly before scheduling recurring delivery.

​
Connect Microsoft Teams

1

Install the nOps app in your tenant

During beta, a Teams administrator installs the nOps app in your organization’s Teams tenant so messages can be delivered.
2

Connect Teams in nOps

Go to Settings → Notifications and connect Teams in the Microsoft Teams (Beta) panel. The panel shows a Connected status once the tenant is linked.
3

Select channels

Choose the Teams channels your organization has approved. Add more from the channel picker in any send or schedule dialog.

​
Deliver to channels

Once Slack or Teams is connected, a Slack / Teams channels picker appears in the delivery dialogs below. Channels and email recipients can be combined in a single send — a report can go to email and one or more channels at the same time.
If Slack or Teams is not connected, the picker links you back to Settings → Notifications to finish setup. Channels you have not connected will not appear as options.

​
Default channels

Set default channels in Settings → Notifications to pre-select the destinations your team uses most. New report and schedule dialogs start with these defaults selected; you can add or remove channels per send.

​
Permissions

​
Security

  • Organization-scoped: An administrator connects each workspace once; the install is bound to your nOps organization.
  • Connected channels only: nOps validates that every selected channel is connected for your organization before delivering.
  • Access controls: Delivery respects the same organization and data access rules as the rest of nOps.
