How it Works

When an end-user visits a node in one of your decision trees, you can have that node trigger a custom Slack notification. Once you set up Slack for your organization, any node in any tree can send a message to Slack.

Notifications in Slack look like this:

Setup

First, you need to give your organization access to the Slack app:

1. Go to Apps & Integrations.
2. Click Slack under Add Apps.
   
3. Slack will ask you to authorize Zingtree access. Select the Slack channel you want to receive notifications (“post to”), then click Authorize.
   
4. You will be returned to Zingtree, and Slack will appear in your list of apps.

Now you can configure any node in any tree to send a custom Slack notification:

1. Pick a tree, and go to the Overview tool.
2. Pick a node, and click the Edit button.
3. Locate the Send Message To option, and select Slack.
   
4. Enter a message that will be sent to your Slack channel.  You can also include any form variables (i.e. #name#).

Now, Preview your tree, and visit the node where you just added a Slack message. The custom message will appear in Slack, along with a link to the session transcript:
