Context

Docs slice (D1) of the OpenSpec change add-slack-alert-channels, closing the stack #12491#12492#12493. The alerts tutorial and the Slack integration tutorial move from the single default channel to the signed contract's model: an authorized set of channels, confirmed by the connection check, that alert rules pick their destinations from. Merging this stack in one sweep keeps the published site from ever documenting the single-channel flow against a multi-channel product.

Description

  • docs/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-alerts.mdx: destinations (emails, channels, or both) throughout; new "Slack Channel Destinations" section (VersionBadge 5.40.0) — field below Recipients, eligible-pool concept (authorize → confirm → selectable), no-integration and no-confirmed-channels states with their affordances, refusals, the cascade note from the Alert's side, zero-destination rules; the Destinations column under Managing Alerts; cross-links to the Slack tutorial.
  • docs/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-app-slack-integration.mdx: "Authorizing Destination Channels" replaces the default-channel section (multi-select, Save channels, private identification with the listing closed); new "Confirming the Authorized Channels" subsection with the one-time "✅ Prowler connection verified…" message; removal/disconnect Warnings naming the alert-rule cascade (no removal message posted, history preserved); changed-set-resets-connection note; reinstall resets confirmations; troubleshooting entries updated ("A Channel Is Missing From an Alert's Channel List"). Install/consent/disconnect/revocation prose untouched.
  • No "test message" vocabulary remains on either page (the endpoint no longer exists).

Steps to review

  1. Read both pages against openspec/changes/add-slack-alert-channels/contract/slack-alerts-api.md semantics (authorize → confirm → selectable; cascade; one-time confirmation).
  2. Screenshot re-staging (tracked as the change's task 5.3) lands on this branch before promotion: channel-picker, connected-workspace (after the S1 hint copy), create-alert-modal, alerts-list, and edit-alert-test if its frame shows the modal body.

Checklist

  • Review if the code is being covered by tests. (docs-only)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation adds Slack channel destinations to Alerts and replaces the Slack integration’s single-channel workflow with multi-channel authorization, confirmation, synchronization, disconnect behavior, and troubleshooting guidance.

Changes

Slack Alert destinations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Alert destination behavior
docs/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-alerts.mdx
The guide documents email and Slack destinations, destination selection, list display rules, confirmed-channel requirements, synchronization behavior, validation, and updated best practices.
Multi-channel Slack authorization
docs/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-app-slack-integration.mdx
The integration guide documents authorization, validation, confirmation, and workspace reapproval for multiple Slack channels.
Channel synchronization and troubleshooting
docs/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-app-slack-integration.mdx
The guide documents disconnect effects, authorized-channel changes, channel failures, and confirmation requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca553

The PR documents multi-channel Slack alert destinations, but the tutorial still needs explicit product scope and version labeling to prevent users from applying the guidance to the wrong product or release. It is otherwise mergeable with this bounded documentation follow-up.

## Prerequisites

The Slack integration is available only in **Prowler Cloud** and **Prowler Private Cloud**. Prowler Local Server does not serve the Slack endpoints at all, so the Slack card does not appear on the Integrations page and the management page redirects away.

Add AppliesTo for the documented product scope.

This web UI tutorial applies to Prowler Cloud and Prowler Private Cloud. Import AppliesTo from /snippets/applies-to.mdx and place it below the imports, or below the VersionBadge if present. Set its products prop to these products.

As per coding guidelines, web UI tutorials that cover multiple products must use AppliesTo with a narrowed products prop.

## Authorizing Destination Channels

Prowler posts to one channel, recorded on the integration as its default destination.
Prowler posts to the channels authorized on the integration. Several channels can be authorized at once, and once the connection check has confirmed them they are the pool every consumer of the integration draws from: an [Alert](/user-guide/tutorials/prowler-alerts) picks its Slack destinations from the confirmed channels, never from the whole workspace.

Add the version badge for multi-channel authorization.

This section documents the version-specific multi-channel destination feature. Add <VersionBadge version="5.40.0" /> below this header and ensure the page imports it from /snippets/version-badge.mdx.

As per coding guidelines, feature documentation introduced in a specific version must include a VersionBadge. Based on learnings, leave exactly one blank line between the header and the badge.

🔎 Container Security Scan (Grype)

Image: prowler-ui:159e337
Last scan: 2026-08-21 13:34:02 UTC

✅ Nothing Blocking

No findings at critical or high severity.

2 finding(s) excluded by .grype.yaml, each with a documented reason.


📋 Resources:

- Retitle the Recipients column to Destinations per design D6
- Summarize emails and Slack channels side by side, at a glance
- Cover list-altitude destination summaries in the integration tests
- Alerts: the Destination channels field below Recipients, the pool of
  confirmed channels it draws from, its unavailable states, and the
  Destinations column, cross-linked to the Slack tutorial
- Slack: the channel section becomes an authorized set several channels
  wide, confirmed by the connection check, and removing a channel from
  it also removes it from the alerts that targeted it
- De-authorizing a channel or disconnecting the integration posts no
  removal message and keeps the notifications already delivered
- Changing which channels are authorized resets the connection state,
  while reordering the same channels does not
- Slack: the authorized set several channels wide, a selected private
  channel keeping its Private identification, and the connection check
  withheld while nothing is authorized
- Alerts: the Destination channels field below Recipients on both the
  create and the edit form, and the Destinations column summarizing
  emails and channels side by side
- No frame offers a test message any more: the connection check is the
  only proof of delivery
- Re-capture every Slack frame carrying the page description and the
  integrations card, now that both name the authorized channels
- Say the connection check cannot be run until a channel is authorized,
  which is what the disabled control and its hint really report
