Slack Integration

Connect your Slack workspace to receive live notifications, pull-request updates, and weekly reports from Optibot directly in your team channels.

Overview

Once connected, Optibot will automatically post updates in your selected Slack channel — including:

• Pull Request Reviews — see approvals, comments, and linked PRs as they happen.
• Weekly Reports — get summarized repository insights every Friday at 5 PM PST.

This integration keeps engineering teams aligned on progress without switching between GitHub, GitLab, and Slack.

How to Connect Slack

1. Go to Slack Integration Settings

In your Optibot dashboard, open Settings → Integrations → Slack Integration, then click Integrate with Slack.

2. Authorize in Slack

You’ll be redirected to Slack to approve permissions for Optibot. Click Allow to grant access.

Optibot will be able to:

3. Select a Default Channel

After authorization, return to Optibot to choose the Slack channel where notifications should appear. Use the dropdown search to filter and select your preferred channel.

4. Confirmation in Slack

Once the integration is complete, you’ll see a welcome message in the selected channel:

”👋 Hello! Optibot was installed in this channel. From now on, I’ll be posting information about all my interactions with your code here.”
