First I created a notification rule for my pipeline.

Rule creation would require a name ( obviously ) and events that should be notified and a target system that the notification should send.

Since I would prefer to receive all the events, I choose all and Slack as the target.

Since my newly created Slack channel is not yet registered as a target I attempted target creation.

Not it is time for me to configure the chatbot. I create a new client.

AWS offered me two options for the client Slack and AWS Chime, I proceed with Slack and it directed me to Slack for authorization for the Slack workspace.

Once I authorized, there are a few more additional configurations needed to do.

What Slack channel should be connected to? What sort of privileges I should allow to the chatbot and what are the guard rules I should create?

Since my only intention is to view what's going on with my CI/CD pipeline, I just set AWS read-only access for both allowed rule and guard conditions.

I triggered my pipeline and started to flood my channel with all the events.
