Slack works in a variety of web browsers and on iOS and Android platforms. The Slack app allows you to share messages between team members, much like a group chat in KakaoTalk, and all messages are stored on the server and can be retrieved at any time, just like email.

APM gives you the ability to add a bot to the slack that your team members use, which logs all the events that happen in APM in a specific message channel.

Users who subscribe to that channel can receive "alerts" on their mobile devices or web browsers about what’s happening in APM on their servers. It’s like an SMS or KakaoTalk messenger notification.
