Description

Slack Integration sends PublishPress editorial workflow notifications to a Slack channel, such as post submitted for review, editor comment, approval, and publication completed, with real-time notification without needing to open the WordPress dashboard. It is meant for those who coordinate a remote editorial team and prefer to track content progress directly in the Slack channel instead of checking WordPress all day long.

Main Features of Slack Integration

  • Notification per event
    Notifies Slack when a post changes status in the editorial workflow.
  • Configurable channel
    Defines which Slack channel each type of notification is sent to.
  • Editorial comment notice
    Sends to Slack the comments left by an editor on the draft.
  • Direct link to the post
    Includes in the Slack message the link to open the post in the admin panel.
  • Webhook integration
    Connects to Slack using the webhook of the work channel itself.

Benefits of Slack Integration

  • Less time in the dashboard
    Avoids logging into WordPress just to see if a post has moved forward.
  • Remote team more aligned
    Keeps everyone informed of content progress in the same channel.
  • Faster response
    Shortens the time between a post becoming ready for review and being seen.
  • Centralized workflow
    Brings editorial communication into the same tool the team already uses.

Who Is Slack Integration For?

  • Those who coordinate an editorial team that already works through Slack.
  • Those who manage remote authors and need quick status notifications.
  • Those who review content as a team and want to notify without switching tools.
  • Those who manage a blog with a multi-step approval workflow.

How to Download Slack Integration

Slack Integration is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, activate it, enter the channel webhook, and choose which editorial workflow events trigger a notification.

A content notice lost in the middle of email usually moves slower than a message in a team channel. Bringing editorial workflow status into Slack takes this step out of the inbox and keeps tracking in the same place where the team already talks every day.
