Slack Notifications

DigitalCore uses Slack’s OAuth flow to install a small app in your workspace. The app posts reports, alerts, and decision updates to channels you pick.

Before you start

You need:

• Permission to add apps to your Slack workspace.
• A channel for reports and a channel for alerts (these can be the same).

Connect Slack

1. Go to Configure, then Integrations.
2. Click Add to Slack.
3. Slack opens in a new tab. Sign in if needed and pick the workspace.
4. Slack shows the permissions DigitalCore is asking for:
   • View basic information about public channels.
   • Post messages as the DigitalCore app.
   • Send direct messages to people who install it.
5. Click Allow.
6. You return to DigitalCore. The workspace is now connected.

You can connect more than one workspace.

Pick channels

For each notification type, pick a channel:

• Reports. A leadership or ops channel.
• Alerts. A dedicated alerts channel.
• Decision updates. Optional. Often noisy unless filtered.

Invite the DigitalCore app to private channels before you select them.

What it looks like

• Reports. A short message with headline numbers and a link.
• Alerts. A coloured card with the engagement, the issue, and a link.
• Decisions. A card with the title, status, and owner.

Mute or revoke

• Mute alerts in a channel using Slack’s built-in channel mute.
• To stop alerts entirely, unlink the channel from Configure, then Integrations.
• To remove the app, click Disconnect in the integrations panel. The OAuth token is revoked immediately. You can also remove the app from your Slack workspace settings.
