ConsoleAware is an add-on to monitor infrastructure changes by forwarding relevant Heroku Webhook Events to Slack.
Add-on Use Cases

$ heroku addons:open consoleaware
Opening consoleaware for sharp-mountain-4005
or by visiting the Heroku Dashboard and selecting your application. Select “ConsoleAware” from the “Add-ons” menu.
Slack Webhook Forwarding
ConsoleAware uses Heroku’s Webhook Events and Slack’s Incoming Webhook app to provide relevant alerting to your Slack instance, or any other app that supports webhooks.
Setup
- Generate a webhook URL by creating a Slack Incoming Webhook app.
- Open ConsoleAware and add a new Slack Incoming Webhook integration with a name, your webhook URL, and desired Heroku Webhook Event subscriptions to forward.
- Click “Create”. A notification immediately appears in Slack to confirm the integration is set up.
