Configuration

Using Slack instead of Discord?

Don't worrie, I don't judge and you still can use this module. It supports also pings to Slack. Simply add the following to your local.py.

## AA Fleet Ping Formatter
AA_FLEETPINGFORMATTER_USE_SLACK = True

Although you cannot use your Auth groups as targets for pings with Slack.
