“The team loved it from the start. Planable helps us overview the entire marketing efforts.“
Planable is where content gets created, reviewed, and approved. Slack is where most teams coordinate day to day. If the two are disconnected, it is easy to miss approvals and comment threads.
The Planable x Slack integration sends key Planable notifications to your Slack workspace, so you see time-sensitive updates where you already work. You get notified when something needs your input, without switching tabs or monitoring Planable manually.
Slack notifications examples from Planable app
Availability: Included on all Planable plans at no extra cost.
What you get when you connect Planable to Slack
After connecting your accounts, Planable will send Slack notifications for the Planable events below:
Approval needed: You are in the approval chain and a post is waiting for your approval.
Comment left: Someone commented on a post you created.
Suggested edits: Someone suggested edits to a post you created.
Mentioned in a comment: Someone tags you in a comment to request input.
Reply to your comment: Someone replies to a comment you wrote, and the thread moves forward.
Publishing error: A post you created wasn’t published due to an error.
Page reconnection: A page from your workspace needs to be reconnected.
Where notifications appear in Slack: Notifications show up in the Planable app section in your Slack workspace, separate from your regular channels and DMs. This keeps Planable updates organized and easy to scan.
