Setting Up Slack Integration

For this activity, you must have the following permission setting in Central:

For more information about permissions, see the Central online Help.

1. In Slack, make sure you have set up a Slack account and created channels that you want to integrate with Central.

2. At the top of Central, click your name and select Settings.

   

3. Select the License tab on the top, and on the left, select Slack.

   

4. In the Channels section, click Connect a Channel.

   

5. Choose your Slack team. And then in the Post to field, select a channel that you want to integrate.
6. Click Authorize.

7. Back in Central, a message indicates that addition was successful. Click OK. The channel is now shown in the grid.

   

8. Repeat steps 4-7 if you want to add more of your Slack channels to the grid.

9. With your channel added, you’re ready to connect it to any of Central’s notifications. Click Add Notification.

   

10. In the Name field, provide a name for the channel notification. It can be the same name as the Slack channel you want to hook it to, but this isn’t necessary.

    

11. From the Channel field, select the Slack channel that you want to associate with the notifications.

    

12. From the Activity Type field, select one of the alert categories—Builds, Checklists, Projects, Tasks, Teams, Users. Notice that these are the same groups available when you set up personal notifications in your user settings.

    

13. Depending on the activity type you choose, additional fields are displayed in the area below. Complete the fields as necessary to choose the type of notifications you want to be associated with the Slack channel.

14. Click Add. A row is added for the new channel notification.

    

15. (Optional) You can perform an action in Central that you have integrated with the Slack channel (e.g., set a target to "Live"). You should see the notification added to your Slack channel.
