Handle open source issues

With Fabric, you can connect your open source GitHub repositories and easily handle issues in Slack.
Send new issues to a Slack channel
Quickly add labels, assignees, and other details to issues
Open ephemeral channels to respond to and monitor progress on high priority issues
How it works
New issues filed by contributors will send to your notification channel.
Receive new issues from contributors.
When setting up your notifications, you can filter by GitHub repository and labels.
This lets you set up channels for just bugs, or just feature requests, for example.
You can set up a notification channel with filters on labels.
You can easily triage the issue, comment by opening a thread or an Issue Room channel, and close it out, all in Slack.
If you have Issue Room auto-creation turned on, Fabric will automatically create an Issue Room Slack channel, where you or your teammates can respond to the issue.
You can also view, edit, comment on, and close out the issue without leaving the Issue Room.
You can view, edit, and comment on the issue without leaving the Issue Room.
Issue Rooms two-way sync with GitHub, so any comments from GitHub will send to the Issue Room. And any messages in the Issue Room will send to GitHub.
Messages from the Issue Room sync to the issue.
If a contributor opens a PR for an issue, Fabric will send a message to the Issue Room.
As always, when your issue is closed, Fabric archives your Issue Room as well.
