How it Works

There are several features you can take advantage of with the integration for Slack:

  • Users can mark tasks as Complete directly from notifications

  • Aboard can send automated (and personalized) messages to any of your Slack channels

  • Aboard can send automated (and personalized) messages to any users in Slack
    ​

2. Click Connect next to Slack

3. Identify your Slack workspace:

5. Allow Aboard access:

6. You (and the rest of your team in Slack) will now see Aboard in your apps section and app drawer.

If they don't, they can click the + symbol beside Apps on the sidebar and then click on Aboard. Either way, it'll appear once they begin getting notifications!
​


​Users may need to refresh their Slack environment to see the application added to the Apps section/their Apps drawer (this will not affect their ability to receive notifications).
​

This is done by:

  • Clicking Ctrl + R on Windows with your Slack window open

FAQ

Q: Once I connect Slack to my workspace, will everybody else see it?
They'll see it as soon as they refresh Slack, or as soon as they're assigned a task or journey.
​
​Q: Can automated Slack messages be sent to private channels?
Yes. Aboard's automated Slack messages can be sent to any channels or individuals within a workspace. However, in order to send to a private channel, you'll need to manually add the Aboard Slack app to the channel in order for it to show in Aboard. More details on the Slack Task page: Slack Tasks
