Install the Drivetrain bot for Slack to receive Drivetrain notifications in your Slack, with the sender’s name, the comment and a link to the page.

This enables users to access comments with complete context on Slack without needing to check e-mail or Drivetrain's in-app notifications to keep up with the conversations.

Pricing: The Drivetrain bot for Slack is free for customers of Drivetrain.

We will cover:

Installing the integration

To install the integration, two requirements need to be fulfilled:

  1. You need to have tenant administrative privileges in Drivetrain

  2. You need to have permission to install apps in your Slack workspace

To install the Drivetrain bot for Slack

  • Visit to sign in to your Drivetrain tenant

  • Click on Settings > Integration for Slack

  • In the new page that opens, click on Allow

The installation is now complete.

After the Slack for Drivetrain integration has been installed, you will start receiving notifications of private comments made on Drivetrain reports, sheets and models if you're tagged.

If you use multiple tenants, the Drivetrain bot for Slack needs to be enabled on each tenant as outlined above.

However, you will receive notifications only from the last tenant that was connected.

Viewing notifications in Slack

When a user is tagged on a private comment in a Drivetrain report, sheet or model, a notification is sent to the Drivetrain bot for Slack with:

  • Sender’s name

  • Comment

  • Link to the page

FAQs

Will I get notifications on public comments made on Reports, Sheets and Models that I created?

No, you will receive notifications only on private comments that were created by you or are tagged with your name.
