+### BL-002 — Native provider integrations for alerting (Slack, Teams, PagerDuty with shipped templates)
+
+**Opened:** 2026-04-19
+**Surfaced by:** [Alerting design](specs/2026-04-19-alerting-design.md) — §2 Out of scope
+**Tracking:** [gitea#138](https://gitea.siegeln.net/cameleer/cameleer-server/issues/138)
+**Status:** Open
+
+**Context.** Alerting v1 ships with generic outbound webhooks + JMustache templates — users paste their Slack incoming webhook URL (or PagerDuty Events API key, or Teams connector URL) and write the body from scratch. A natural fast-follow is to elevate the most common providers to first-class connection types with tuned default templates, provider-specific config hints, and test actions that speak each provider's native format.
+
+**What's deferred.**
+- `SLACK_INCOMING_WEBHOOK` connection type with Block Kit default body template and URL-shape validation.
+- `PAGERDUTY_EVENTS_V2` with routing-key input (not URL) and default body tuned to the Events API v2 — including `dedup_key` tied to alert-instance id, severity mapping, and auto-resolve via `event_action: resolve` on alert RESOLVED.
+- `MS_TEAMS_CONNECTOR` with adaptive-card/MessageCard default.
+- Optional follow-ons: Discord, OpsGenie.
+
+**Acceptance criteria.**
+- Decide on the first 2 providers based on usage data from alerting v1 (likely Slack + PagerDuty).
+- Ship templates as versioned resources (`outbound-templates/slack-v1.mustache`) so they can iterate without breaking existing connections.
+- Golden-file tests per provider type — payload matches current documented format.
+- Provider-integration guide in docs.
+
+**Why we're not doing it now.**
+- Generic webhook + Mustache covers every target today; not a blocker.
+- Provider schemas drift (Slack deprecated old JSON once; Teams connectors are on a deprecation path as of late 2025); shipping baked-in templates is a maintenance commitment.
+- Usage data will tell us which providers actually matter — shipping three speculatively is wasted work.
+
+**Links.**
+- `cameleer-server-core/src/main/java/com/cameleer/server/core/outbound/` (v1 connection model — extend with `OutboundConnectionType` sealed hierarchy)
+- Related (different concern): BL-001 / [gitea#137](https://gitea.siegeln.net/cameleer/cameleer-server/issues/137)

 4. **Notify** — title + message templates with *Preview* button; targets multi-select (users / groups / roles with typeahead); outbound connections multi-select filtered by current env + `allowed_environment_ids`.
 5. **Review** — summary card, enabled toggle, save.
 
+### Template editor — Mustache with variable auto-complete
+
+Every Mustache template-editable field — notification title, notification message, webhook URL, webhook header values, webhook body — uses a shared `<MustacheEditor />` component with **variable auto-complete**. Users never have to guess what context variables are available.
+
+**Behavior.**
+- Typing `{{` opens a dropdown of available variables at the caret position.
+- Each suggestion shows the variable path (`alert.firedAt`), its type (`Instant`), a one-line description, and a sample rendered value from the canned context.
+- Filtering narrows the list as the user keeps typing (`{{ale…` → filters to `alert.*`).
+- `Enter` / `Tab` inserts the path and closes `}}` automatically.
+- Arrow keys + `Esc` follow standard combobox semantics (ARIA-conformant).
+
+**Context-aware filtering.** The available variables depend on the rule's condition kind and scope. The editor is aware of both:
+- Always shown: `env.*`, `rule.*`, `alert.*`
+- `ROUTE_METRIC` with `route.id` set: adds `route.id`, `app.*`
+- `EXCHANGE_MATCH`: adds `exchange.*`, `app.*`, `route.id` (if scoped)
+- `AGENT_STATE`: adds `agent.*`, `app.*`
+- `DEPLOYMENT_STATE`: adds `deployment.*`, `app.*`
+- `LOG_PATTERN`: adds `log.*`, `app.*`
+- `JVM_METRIC`: adds `metric.*`, `agent.*`, `app.*`
+
+Variables that *might not* populate (e.g., `alert.resolvedAt` while state is FIRING) are shown with a grey "may be null" badge — users still see them so they can defensively template.
+
+**Syntax checks inline.**
+- Unclosed `{{` / unmatched `}}` flagged with a red underline + hover hint.
+- Reference to an out-of-scope variable (e.g., `{{exchange.id}}` in a ROUTE_METRIC rule) flagged with an amber underline + hint ("not available for this rule kind — will render as literal").
+- Checks run client-side on every keystroke (debounced); server-side render preview is still authoritative (§8).
+
+**Shared implementation.** Same `<MustacheEditor />` component is used in:
+- Rule editor — Notify step (title, message)
+- Rule editor — Webhook overrides (body override, header value overrides; URL not editable per rule, it's the connection's)
+- Admin **Outbound Connections** editor — default body template, default header values, URL (URL gets a reduced context: only `env.*` since a connection URL is rule-agnostic)
+- *Test render* inline preview — rendered output updates live as user types
+
+**Completion engine.** Specific library choice (CodeMirror 6 with a custom completion extension vs Monaco vs a lighter custom overlay on `<textarea>`) is deferred to planning — see §20.
