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 start creating notification rules
Notification rules
Notification rules let you automatically send Slack messages when specific events happen in Hyperline. Each rule combines a trigger (the event), a Slack channel (where to send), and a message template (what to send). To create a notification rule:- Go to Settings > Integrations > Slack > Notifications
- Click Add rule
- Give the rule a name
- Select a trigger from the list of available events
- Choose the Slack channel where the notification should be sent
- Customize the message template using variables
- Save the rule
Available triggers
You can create notification rules for the following events:| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| Approval requested | An approval step has been requested |
| Approval request approved | An approval step has been approved |
| Approval request rejected | An approval step has been rejected |
| Bank account errored | A bank account encountered an error |
| Data loader failed | A data loader job has failed |
| Invoice chargeback | An invoice has been charged back |
| Invoice errored | An invoice encountered an error |
| Invoice late | An invoice is overdue |
| Invoice settled | An invoice has been fully paid |

| Quote viewed | A quote has been viewed |
| Subscription activated | A subscription has been activated |
| Subscription contract renewed | A subscription contract has been renewed |

Message template
Each notification rule includes a customizable message template. You can format the message using Markdown and insert dynamic variables that will be replaced with actual values when the notification is sent. Variables are inserted using the{{variableName}} syntax. The available variables depend on the selected trigger — for example, an invoice trigger provides variables like {{invoiceNumber}} and {{invoiceAmount}}, while a quote trigger provides {{quoteNumber}} and {{quoteValue}}.
You can also use custom properties in your message templates (e.g. {{myCustomProperty}}).
Hyperline automatically attempts to join public Slack channels when you configure them in a notification rule. For private channels, you’ll need to manually invite the Hyperline app to the channel.
