Never Miss Content Again: Configure Slack Alerts for Your Employee Advocacy Program

Imagine this, your team is always in the loop, never missing new content to post in your employee advocacy program. Sounds great, right? With Slack notifications, you can boost employee adoption and make your advocacy program shine.

Creating Your Slack App

First, you’ll need to create a Slack app. Let’s go to api.slack.com/apps. When creating an app, choose the “from scratch” option and name it something descriptive like “Advocacy Program Notifications.” This step is a one-time setup.

Setting Up Incoming Web Hooks

Then, go to your Slack app’s basic information. Navigate to “Add features and functionality” and then “Incoming web hooks.” Turn the toggle to “On” to enable incoming web hooks. Then click “Add new web hook to workspace.” You can create one or multiple web hooks depending on how many Slack channels you want to use for notifications.

Connecting to Vista Social

Copy the web hook URL for the Slack channel where you want notifications sent. Now, head back to Visib Social and navigate to your employee advocacy settings. Paste the web hook URL you just copied into the designated field. Once you save this, your team members in the designated Slack channel will receive notifications whenever new advocacy content is available.

Customizing Your Notifications

Want to add a personal touch? You can customize the appearance of your Slack notification in Slack. Go to the basic information area of your newly created app and change the app icon, color or name to fit your branding.

Start Engaging Your Team

And that’s it! You successfully set up Slack notifications for your employee advocacy program. This will keep your team engaged and ensure they never miss your new content.
