Little Snitch reported that Macro wanted to send a request to hooks.slack.com—I'd imagine that you're posting a notice in your team's Slack when the tool is used?

Your on-boarding mentions your affinity for transparency, but this feels pretty shady to me. I've uninstalled the app.

We don't use any traditional third-party user tracking software so we do indeed use Slack webhooks to allow the leadership team to be notified about certain events (onboardings, uninstalls, etc.). No meeting data (name, attendees, or otherwise) are included in these requests.

If you've got any suggestions on how to debug client-side issues with more transparency in mind, I'd love to hear them!
