Slack
The Slack integration brings Supervisible requests and project context into Slack while keeping Supervisible as the source of truth.
What Slack Enables
Use /supervisible timeoff, /supervisible timeoff digest, /supervisible status, and /supervisible link.
Post approved time-off announcements and scheduled weekly OOO digests to a configured channel.
Map a project to a channel for project updates and date-change notifications.
Unfurl Supervisible project, client, and user links into Slack work objects.
Setup
- Go to Settings -> Integrations.
- Install Slack.
- Sync users by email, or ask users to run
/supervisible linkto check their account link. - Ask users to enable Slack channels in Notification Preferences.
- Optional: configure the OOO channel in Settings -> Time Off.
- Optional: map project channels from a project notification bell.
Slash Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/supervisible timeoff | Opens a Slack modal for creating a time-off request. |
/supervisible timeoff digest | Posts this week's team time-off summary to the current channel. |
/supervisible status | Shows your pending requests, upcoming time off, and active project context. |
/supervisible link | Checks whether your Slack account is linked to Supervisible. |
Approvals
Slack approval buttons acknowledge quickly, then update Supervisible in the background. Rejecting a request opens a modal to collect a reason.
OOO Announcements
When an approved request qualifies for announcement, Supervisible can post a message to the configured OOO Slack channel. Scheduled weekly digests can summarize people currently out, leaving soon, recently returned, and public holidays. Admins can choose the leaving-soon and recently-returned windows from Settings -> Time Off.
Project Channels
Project channels are configured from the project notification bell. The user must be able to manage the project and the workspace must already have Slack installed.
When you connect a project channel, Slack asks you to choose a channel and grants Supervisible an incoming webhook for that channel. The Slack workspace must match the workspace already connected to Supervisible. A project can have one mapped Slack channel at a time.
After a channel is connected, choose which shared events should post there:
- Project updates.
- Date changes.
- Status changes.
- Team changes.
- Target date reminders.
The first connection enables project updates, date changes, and status changes. You can turn project notifications off while keeping the channel connected, change the channel, or disconnect it. Personal Slack DMs are controlled separately in Notification Preferences.
Privacy
Slack notifications respect Supervisible roles and each user's notification channel settings. Project-channel notifications use the project's shared channel settings, and sensitive time-off details stay hidden where the app hides them.
