Post Confluence approval updates to a Slack channel

To post a Confluence space's approval activity to a Slack channel, invite the Capable bot to the channel, then in Global settings, on the Notifications tab, select Set up next to Slack channels on the Slack card. Add the space and choose which events the channel hears about.
