Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of a new feature to DeviceLink – Slack notifications for your Site backup results!

We understand how important it is for you to make sure your backups are running correctly and successfully. That’s why we’ve added this new feature to give you peace of mind that your data is being properly backed up. 

It's easy to set up the feature using webhooks.  In a matter of minutes, you can receive notifications in your favorite Slack Channel if a backup has detected changes or not, or if there was a failure, perhaps due to a device issue.

Thank you for using DeviceLink! We’re always looking for ways to make your experience better, and we hope you find this new feature helpful. Read more about it in our Documentation.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

It is our pleasure to announce that Copia now renders Rockwell Studio 5000 Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language. This new feature allows users to view, compare and analyze SFCs for their projects.

Rockwell SFCs are a common language used in automation.  With Copia’s new feature, customers can use either the Web or Desktop app to visualize their SFC routines.  In addition, Copia provides Code Commenting during the Code review and Pull Request process, so that users can add comments directly on the SFC diagram.  

Copia’s new SFC rendering and code commenting feature is an invaluable tool for users looking to streamline their code development and review processes.
