How to connect Slack notifications to Multitudes

Slack + Multitudes Integration Benefits

Multitudes can proactively send you notifications to help you improve performance, collaboration, and wellbeing, in your existing workflow. View available Slack notifications.

How it works

We have both team and personal Slack Notifications. Once Multitudes has been enabled in your organization's Slack workspace, teams can set up their own channel notifications (e.g. ad hoc PR updates, the daily Work Digest, and more) and individuals can enable personal notifications.

Requirements

Different organizations have different permissions required to install apps to a Slack workspace. If your workspace requires "app approval" you will need a Slack Workspace Owner to install or approve the Multitudes integration.

How to install

Choose whether you need to set up Slack for your organization or for you as an individual – jump to the relevant instructions:

Slack organization setup – to receive team notifications in shared channels
Slack individual setup – to receive Multitudes notifications to yourself via DM

Note that you can also set up notifications from the My Insights page – instructions below.

From the Settings > Notifications page

In the Multitudes app, click your user icon at the bottom of the navigation sidebar. Click Settings, then go to the "Notifications" tab.

Click one of the "Connect" buttons.
In the modal that pops up, click the “Install the Multitudes for Slack app” button. This will open a new window on your browser, at [workspace-name].slack.com. ‍Make sure you’re installing on the correct workspace – you can change this in the dropdown on the top right corner.
Click “Allow” (or “Request approval” if your Slack organization has been set up to require approval from a workspace owner).
To get alerts in private channels, you need to add the Multitudes for Slack app to those specific channels. You can do this by typing @multitudes in each private channel, or clicking on the private channel's name and going to Integrations > Add apps .
