Yes! Loopio’s Integration for Slack keeps your Project Participants informed of their Assignments, helping your team stay organized and deliver Projects on time.
Notifications Sent in the Integration for Slack
Important: Some notification types can be turned on or off for your whole organization by an Administrator, so the notifications you receive may vary depending on your account's settings. For details, see Can I Customize How My Team is Notified About Work in Loopio?
There are two types of Notifications that are sent through the Integration for Slack: instant Project Notifications and a Daily Digest.
Both Project Notifications and the Daily Digest will appear in Slack as direct messages from the Loopio App:
Project Notifications Sent Instantly
In the Project Workspace, a direct message is instantaneously sent to Users, via the Loopio app in Slack, when:
- They are assigned a Project Entry
- A Team they belong to is assigned a Project Entry
- A Project Entry Review is ready to complete for the User
- A Project Entry Review is ready to complete for a Team they belong to
- They are @ mentioned in a comment
- A comment is left on an Entry they are assigned to
- A Project Entry they are assigned to is nudged
- A Project-wide nudge is initiated from the Project Dashboard
Note: You will not receive a Slack notification for any actions you have assigned to yourself.
Library Review and Project Assignment Notifications Included in the Slack Daily Digest
A Daily Digest is sent out at approximately 9:00 AM local time (as set in each User’s Slack timezone). This includes a summary of Overdue Assignments, Assignments Due in 3 Days or Sooner, and All Other Assignments.
This summary includes:
- Project Entry assignments
- Project Entry Reviews that are ready to complete
- Library Reviews assigned to them
Assignments for Teams that have not been claimed, or have been claimed by a different User, are not shown in the Daily Digest.
Changing the Notifications Sent Through the Integration for Slack
Project Notifications sent through Slack can be configured in two ways:
- Specific notifications can be turned on or off for all Loopio Users, through the Admin tab
- Users who are members of more than one connected Slack Workspace can configure their preferred workspace in their Account Details page
