If Slack is your primary channel for communicating with colleagues, this integration allows you can track workspace updates including:
- New products, components, features, and subfeatures
- New users
- New companies
- New objectives
- New releases
- New comments on features/notes
Creating a notification feed
All workspace updates are chronologically ordered, and grouped by date. Updates are searchable in Slack and contain links to associated Productboard features/notes.
Setup is easy. Just make sure you are an Admin in both Slack and Productboard. Then follow the steps below to get started.
First, create an incoming webhook in a Slack app:
Slack's own documentation is the most reliable source for this information. Head to their article on incoming webhooks and follow the instructions until you have created and authorized a new incoming webhook.
Before moving on, make sure that your new webhook URL is copied to your clipboard.
Note: When creating an incoming webhook, you'll need to specify a channel. The channel you choose will be the one to receive notifications from Productboard.
Then, in Productboard:
- At the bottom of the main menu, click Settings > Integrations.
- Scroll down and click Add new Slack Notifications.
- Click Add integration.
- Paste your Slack webhook URL into the first field.
- In the second field, indicate the channel to which notifications will be posted. This has nothing to do with where the notifications will go in Slack (that's controlled by the webhook URL itself, which you configured from the Slack app), but you should be consistent and indicate the receiving channel here anyway.
- Click Save integration.
- make sure the integration is Enabled.
