Enable Slack notifications

We've implemented a notification center to deliver timely updates on important events on our platform. This info is available in the app or by email. However, neither of these choices effectively encourages team collaboration. To improve this, we've decided to develop a Slack integration for our notification center.

How does it work?

The Slack integration lets you send all notifications you have access to directly to a designated Slack channel. You have the flexibility to decide who gets invited to the Slack channel and what other actions can be performed. All notifications will be sent, with no option to restrict them to specific types.
