Slack is a business communications platform
that enables you to stay connected with your
team.
Within Teamwork, you can enable the
Slack integration for your profile to allow you to interact with Teamwork notifications
and create project items directly from your
Slack account.
Note: This integration is
available on per-user Pro/Deliver plans
and above, as well as certain legacy
plans.
Click your profile avatar in the bottom left of your site and select My Apps from the pop-out menu.
In the Apps tab of your profile,
click
the More info button
in the Slack Actions and
Notifications section under My
Apps.
You will be redirected to the Teamwork app page in the Slack app directory. Using the account dropdown in the top right, you can select which Slack account to link with Teamwork. Once selected, click the Add to Slack button on the left side of the app page.
To
complete the setup, you will need to
authorize the integration to connect to
your Slack account as well as choose a
channel that will receive notifications
from Teamwork. Click Allow to proceed.
Note: Teamwork
recommends
connecting this integration to
a private Slack
channel.
You will then be redirected to the Teamwork log in launchpad where you can enter your login credentials for the Teamwork account you want to connect to the Slack channel. If the email address is associated with multiple Teamwork sites, you will need to choose the relevant site.
Once you click Log in, you will also be asked to grant access permission to your site for the integration.
After completing the setup, you will see
the Slack integration shows as enabled in your My Apps section in Teamwork.
In Slack, you will see a note at the top of the channel mentioning the addition of the Teamwork app to the channel.
The selected channel will automatically receive Teamwork notifications for any
items related to you. These include being assigned to a
task, edits to a task you are following,
users @mentioning you in
comments/messages, etc.
Note: In line with how
Teamwork handles notifications, you will
not receive notifications in Slack when
you are the person creating project items.
