Overview
Today's work environments depend on various applications to communicate information, whether within teams, across organizations, or at a global scale. In the SnapLogic platform, the built-in communication system allows Org admins and users to directly message or send notifications triggered by system events or user actions by email. In the 4.24 Release (February 2021), you can now also send messages from your Org to non-SnapLogic team members. Slack integration supports the following actions in the UI:
- Sending alerts/notifications to Slack channels and Slack users.
- Adding Slack recipients and channels to existing alerts and notifications.
- Entering Slack recipient names and channels for Snaplex notifications.
Workflow
You use the following workflow to enable Slack of your Org.
- Enable Slack integration in SnapLogic Manager.
- Create and modify existing notifications and alerts to include Slack recipients and channels.
- When an event or action triggers the alert, SnapLogic notifies users directly on Slack or through a Slack channel specified by the creator of the notification.
- The user can respond to the event or action appropriately.
Prerequisites
- You must have Org admin access to set up Slack.
- You must have the Slack application instance configured and populated with channels and team members to derive full benefit of this feature.
Enabling Slack for your SnapLogic Org
- In Manager > Settings, scroll down to Slack Notifications, and click Add Slack:
The Slack application opens. - In the Slack access page, read the prompt and click Allow.
You are returned to Manager.
To validate that the Slack integration is successful, you should see Slack notification fields for Slack recipients and channels when you configure Activity Notifications.
Removing Slack from your Org
- In Manager > Settings, scroll down to Slack Notifications, and click Remove Slack.
- Open a notification in Manager >Settings to confirm that the Edit Notification dialog does not display fields under Slack Recipients.
If you have Slack integration enabled for more than one Org, then removing the integration from one Org does not stop SnapLogic communications through Slack. See Removing Access to Slack for details.
Removing Access to Slack
Slack integration in SnapLogic is based on using a token to authenticate access. To stop Slack communications for one Org while maintaining access for all other Orgs, see Remove apps and custom integrations from your workspace. Otherwise, you can move access to Slack from your Org by removing Slack for each Org in Manager.
