Hello.
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask for this or if I misunderstood something but it seems I'm unable to add spring boot as a repository to subscribe to using GitHub for Slack.
I'm using the following command
/github subscribe spring-projects/spring-boot
Which is telling me
Either the app isn't installed on your repository or the repository does not exist. Install it to proceed.
Note: You need to be an organization owner to install the app (or ask one to install it for you).
I've been subscribing to other repositories without issues and it's the first time I get such a message so I guess there may be something to activate on your end ?
Again I'm very sorry that this issue doesn't fall into the usual categories. Thanks

There's a hint in the error message.

I guess we can reuse this issue to figure out if we want to install this app in this repository. Flagging for team attention.

Is your question if we want the spring-boot repo integrated in our slack? If yes, I would like to have them separated. I like the GitHub notifications and don't need them in Slack, too.

My question is more: can you make it available for others (us, me) ? Making your repository compatible with Slack doesn't require you to use that integration in slack (you also need in slack to add the github app and "subscribe" to whatever repository you're interested in which is decorelated from the github "watch"). This would enable for your whole community the ability to get their notifications in Slack.
That's as far as I understand things for now.

That's my understanding too. To get notifications appearing in Slack is a two-step process:
- There's an app that needs to be installed in this repository (it's already installed in some other repos such as spring-hateoas)
- The integration then needs to be enabled in a Slack channel
AIUI, we can do 1 without noticing any difference. It'll just make it possible for people to perform step 2 without it failing because the app hasn't been installed.
Assuming that my understanding is correct, I have no objections to installing the app.

Ah, now I get it. I don't have any objections then :)

I've added the app to spring-projects/spring-boot. You should be able to subscribe in your Slack workspace now, @lthoulon-locala.

It works. Thanks a lot.
