Our Slack app adds the @Empirical bot to your Slack workspace. This bot
shares test reports in the channel, and tagging the bot will start agent sessions.
Installation

- Click on “Install” on the Slack app to start the OAuth flow
Configuration
After installation, pick a channel in your Slack workspace where you want to see test reports and/or start agent sessions.

@Empiricalbot to this invite: mentioning the bot should do it -
Run a slash command to link this channel, by sending this message in Slack
