Definition

Slack Integration in Notion is a native connection that links your workspace to one or more Slack channels. Once configured, you can send page updates, comments, and custom alerts from Notion directly into Slack, keeping your team informed without switching apps.

Usage & Context

To use Slack Integration, an admin first installs the official Notion app in your Slack workspace and grants the necessary permissions. In Notion, you then choose which pages or databases should trigger notifications and specify the target Slack channel. Whenever a page is updated, a comment is added, or a database item meets a defined condition, Notion posts a message to Slack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permissions are required for the integration?: You need Workspace Admin rights in Notion and the ability to install apps in Slack. This ensures Notion can post messages and access content you choose.
Which Notion events can be sent to Slack?: You can send page updates, new comments, completed tasks, database item creations, and custom status changes to your Slack channels.
Can I choose different channels for different pages?: Yes. When you configure the integration, you assign specific pages or databases to individual Slack channels for tailored alerts.
