With the Slack integration, the spyne bot sends your notifications as direct messages in Slack. Nothing is posted in a channel, and everyone chooses what they receive.
There are three steps:
An admin connects the workspace to Slack, once per workspace.
Each user selects Slack in their notification preferences.
Everyone checks that their spyne email matches their Slack email.
1. Connect the workspace to Slack
Who can do it: an admin or owner of the spyne workspace who also has permission to install an app in your Slack (usually a Slack admin).
Open Settings and select the relevant workspace.
In the Workspace section, click Slack.
Click Start integration, then authorize spyne in the Slack window.
The screen shows Slack Integration: Enabled, and you receive a welcome message from the spyne bot.
💡 The connection is made per workspace. If you manage several clients, connect each workspace you want Slack notifications for. Other members don't need to connect anything.
Not a Slack admin? Copy the link shown under "Or" and send it to your Slack admin. They must be logged in to spyne, with this workspace selected, to complete the connection.
2. Select Slack in your notifications (each user)
Once the workspace is connected, no Slack notifications are sent until you select Slack.
Select a workspace connected to Slack.
Open Settings > Account > Notifications. The "Slack connected" banner appears.
For each notification type, add Slack under Notify me on.
Your choices apply to all your workspaces connected to Slack. The Slack option only appears if the selected workspace is connected.
3. Check your email address
spyne finds you in Slack using your email address. It must be the same in spyne and in Slack, otherwise you won't receive anything.

Receive goal alerts
Each person subscribes themselves: in Goals, open the goal's ⋯ menu and click Subscribe to alerts. The menu shows Unsubscribe when you're already subscribed. When creating a goal, the Subscribe to alerts checkbox subscribes its creator.
Disable
In Settings > Slack, an admin clicks Disable. Scheduled reports set to Slack will then be sent by email instead.
