How to set up Slack deployment alerts on App Platform via App Spec

App Platform recently introduced the ability to create Slack alerts on deployment events. Is there a way to define this purely through app spec? The app spec documentation does not mention anything about alert config.

I am attempting to automate creation of apps via doctl + github actions and would love to automate creation of these alerts as well without jumping into the UI.

Hello @christopherfu ,

We don’t have this feature through App Spec and we request you to post your thoughts in below link:

However, as you are aware, just cross posting again on Alerts feature on Apps:

Hope this helps!
