Slack is a business communications platform that enables you to stay connected with your team.
Within Teamwork, you can enable the Slack integration to allow you and your
users to interact with Teamwork notifications
and create project items directly from your
Slack account.
Note: This integration is
available on the per-user Pro/Deliver plans and above, as well as certain legacy plans.
The Slack integration is a personal
integration each user can connect in their
own profile settings once it has been
enabled at site level by a site
administrator.
Enabling Slack for your Teamwork site
To enable the integration, click your
profile icon in the top right of your site
and select Settings from the
dropdown menu.
In the settings area, go to the Integrations tab where you will see an
option to connect Slack Actions &
Notifications.
Enabling Slack for your profile
When the Slack integration has been
enabled in the site settings, each user
can then enable it for their personal
profile.
Click your profile icon in the top right
of your site and select View
Profile from the dropdown
menu.
In your profile area, go to the
Integrations tab and click the Connect button in the Slack Actions and Notifications section.
Once you click connect, you will need to
enter your Slack workspace URL and
corresponding login credentials.
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.
Note: Teamwork recommends connecting this integration to a private Slack channel.
After completing the setup, you will see
the Slack integration has been connected
to the channel you choose.
Clicking the channel link
will bring you directly to it in
Slack.
The channel will
receive Teamwork notifications for any
items related to you - 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 create project items.
