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.
Overview
The Slack integration allows you to
sync their Teamwork and Slack profiles in order to:
- Receive your Teamwork notifications relating to your projects directly in an
updates feed in Slack.
- Set up project channels in Slack to receive messages specific to a Teamwork project.
- Create Teamwork project items from
messages in Slack.
- Set up Slack
automations in
Teamwork to automatically
post messages in Slack
based on custom task
criteria. Example: Create
an automation to send
a Slack message when a
task's priority
changes to
high.

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. If the email
address is associated

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, the Teamwork app will be listed
under Apps in your
workspace.
The Messages tab in
the Teamwork app page 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.
