What is Slack?
Slack is a collaborative communication platform for teams, offering real-time messaging, file sharing, and integration with various tools. It organizes conversations into channels based on topics, projects, or teams, fostering efficient and organized team communication.Connect Slack to Hyperline
You can connect Slack as a native integration in Hyperline to receive automated notifications directly in your Slack channels. To connect Slack:- Go to Settings > Integrations
- Find Slack in the list of available integrations
- Click Connect and authorize Hyperline to access your Slack workspace
- Once connected, you can configure which Slack channel receives notifications
The Slack integration is currently used for approval workflow notifications only.
Approval notifications in Slack
When you have approval workflows configured, you can receive notifications in Slack when approval is requested. This keeps your team informed without requiring them to constantly check Hyperline. To enable Slack notifications for an approval workflow:- Connect Slack as described above
- Go to Settings > Approvals
- Create or edit an approval workflow
- Select a Slack channel where notifications should be sent
- Save the workflow
Hyperline automatically attempts to join public Slack channels when you configure them in an approval workflow. For private channels, you’ll need to manually invite the Hyperline app to the channel.
