What is the Slack Integration?

Our Slack Integration makes it easy for you and your team to stay on top of tasks in Loopio, and access and share the knowledge held in your Library.

The Slack Integration allows members of Loopio to receive Notifications about Project Assignments, Comments and Nudges as a direct message in Slack. Plus, you can access the Loopio Library by typing "/loopio search" with a search term in Slack channels and direct messages.

Where Can I Get the Slack Integration?

The Loopio Slack Integration is available on the Admin page in Loopio, and requires a short setup process within your Loopio account.
