Slack app

Snyk's new Snyk app for Slack is built as an official Slack App, unlike the current Slack integration which uses Slack’s Incoming Webhooks; this is considered outdated.

When the Snyk app for Slack is released, Snyk encourages all customers using the current Slack integration to adopt the Snyk app for Slack and get the following benefits and more:

• Improved Support for Snyk Products (Open Source, Code, Container, and IaC)

• Support for filtering on severity levels
