The whitelist array need the organization slug? i.e. definc/some_repo or it assumed the organization from the location of the config?

@thephw good question - either works!

Does the slack integration support rollup?

@jb1b84 not yet but I am working on it, trying to find the right UX for it as for some of our customers it can get quite long.

What values work for rollup?

Right now it's only daily but happy to add weekly if the demand is there.

Can Slack notifications be sent as DMs as well as to channels?
