Is it possible to handle multiple DigitalOcean events within a single integration?
Absolutely, you can set up multiple zaps for different events. Each event in DigitalOcean can be configured with its own trigger-action pair so that each significant change is communicated via Slack accordingly.
How do I test if my integration between DigitalOcean and Slack is working correctly?
