Overview

Slack allows you to communicate with your team in real-time. It is a great tool for organizational communication and Stackby allows integration with Slack so that you can push your Stackby notifications, reminders and favourite row changes onto to Slack with regards to real-time collaborations.

Your notifications on Slack via Stackby is dependent on the selections you have made per rule for a particular stack. One thing to keep in mind is that the Slack integration works at the row level and not at the column level. So the notifications and reminder messages will be coming forth only at row level.

What notifications you can get through Slack integration?

There are 3 types of notifications about changes made in your stack that you can get on Slack.

All activity in the stack

You will receive notifications for changes made to every cell (mind you, that is at row-level and not at column level)

Only favourite rows

You will receive notifications for changes to your favourite rows.

Only reminder

Reminders that you set up in the stack -- you will receive notifications for that.
