Slack is a secure and flexible communication platform that enables teams to collaborate in real time. With EducateMe’s Slack integration, you can connect your organization’s workspace to receive instant notifications about courses, events, and learner activities directly in Slack.

How to manage Slack integration?
Click the three dots menu on the Slack card to manage your integration. Options include:
How it works (Opens this article in the help center).
Test integration (Runs a test notification to confirm the Slack connection (you’ll see confirmation messages in-app)).
Remove (Disconnects the Slack integration. A confirmation modal will appear before removal).
How Slack notifications work?
Once your Slack account is connected, notifications will mirror the email notifications you’ve enabled in your profile and each learner’s profile. This means that if you would normally receive an email (such as for a new assignment, a session reminder, or a course publication), you’ll also get the same notification in Slack.
Important: Learners will automatically receive notifications in Slack if the email address in their EducateMe profile matches their Slack account email. No additional setup is required on their side.
For example, if a learner is set to receive an email about a new assignment, session reminder, or course publication, they’ll also get the same notification in Slack.
