Setting up Slack integration

Scrum Mate integration with Slack notifies your team members of personal messages and publish board and backlog events to a specified Slack channel.

Receive your personal notifications as a Slack direct message

Every Scrum Mate user can add Slack integration to their private notifications. (Slack Team Owners can restrict this permission in Slack. You can learn more about  adding an app to Slack here.)

To forward your personal Scrum Mate notifications to Slack as a direct message.

Select 'Settings' from your profile menu

2

Select 'Notifications' on the left navigation bar

Click on #Add to Slack button

Now, your personal Slack integration is set! You'll receive your Scrum Mate notifications as Slack direct messages.

Create a project journal with Slack

Team members can stay up to date on activities performed on any board or in any backlog. By forwarding the activity logs to a Slack channel, you can gather all events into one place. Here are some of the events Scrum Mate can forward to your team channel when someone:

• Created or deleted a story or task
• Changed the status of a story or task
• Commented a story or task
• Updated the description, name or estimated effort of a story or task
