Additional formats will be added; Pull Requests are welcome!

The Lambda function communicates with Slack through a webhook:
Launch the CloudFormation Stack by using our preconfigured CloudFormation template or by simply pressing the following button:
Click "Next" and on the following page name your new stack and paste the webhook URL from before into the "HookUrl" field. You can also configure a different channel to post to if wanted.
Click "Next" again, complete the stack setup on the following pages and finally launch your stack.
Before the Lambda function will actually do anything you need to subscribe it to actual CloudWatch alarms and other SNS triggers. Open up the AWS Lambda, switch to the "Triggers" tab and subscribe for all events you're interested in.
