Alert notifications or subscriptions via Slack / Teams, etc.

Companies are getting away from email and moving to messaging platforms like Slack and Teams.  Customers want to subscribe alerts to specific Slack channels vs. getting an email.

    This would be incredibly useful for our team. Right now we’re relying entirely on email for these alerts and it’s honestly so clunky and difficult to manage.
    It’s nearly impossible to see what’s actually going on at a glance, and making sure we have all the right people tagged and looped in is a constant challenge. We need to be able to embed reports directly, tag the appropriate stakeholders, and most importantly, have visibility into whether things are actually being looked at and addressed.

    This is such a critical part of our workflow: we’re talking about cost management and financial oversight here. It’s wild that Apptio doesn’t have this capability yet. It feels like we’re operating in 2008 while the rest of the world has moved on from email as the primary communication tool.

    Slack and Teams integration isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore! THIS IS WHERE WORK ACTUALLY HAPPENS!! 

    Please prioritize this enhancement.
