Adding a Slack Channel to Your Stream

As long as an admin has connected Slack, it's easy to add a corresponding channel to a Stream so that you get notified in Slack when customers and prospects take actions. To do that just start by making a new channel in Slack with whatever name you want and then connect that channel by clicking Stream options on the top right of a stream, clicking Edit stream, and then adding/adjusting your Slack channel (we can find all public channels, including Slack Connect public channels).

Adding a Slack channel is just a click away

To connect or disconnect Slack, you just click that little button on the right
