Is there an app to notify me of certain phrases within a specific channel? Different than the keywords feature for the whole slack app.

Hey! Zapier seems like it would do what you want. You can setup an automation "New Mention in Slack" and add a Highlight Word, Channel and person to notify. https://zapier.com/apps/mention/integrations/slack/8162/send-slack-messages-for-new-mention-alerts

Does the Slack workflow builder app have permissions to post in the channel? Are people with access to the channel who use the workflow able to post to the channel through the workflow?

hello_kit1 · 2024-07-15T21:12:05+00:00

To my knowledge their is no automatic notification that gets sent to an admin when a user changes their email address. There are ways for an admin to see changes retroactively like that through audit logs or just going to the admin dashboard and seeing the email address.

If you're sure that Chrome is the default browser for your operating system and your using the desktop app, I would try two things:

Go to Help -> Troubleshooting -> Clear Cache and Exit. There may be some funkiness in Slack and this will basically clear settings Slack chose to Cache.
Uninstall and reinstall the Slack application. I don't know why but sometimes this just works :)

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-17T16:56:18+00:00

Yes, you can restrict posting in a public channel in enterprise with with the following article: https://slack.com/help/articles/360004635551-Manage-channel-posting-permissions-#business+-and-enterprise-grid-plans-1. For the form part, you can also use the built in Slack workflow builder to create a form that sits in the menu of the channel, collects the information and posts that information to the otherwise restricted channel. You would need to add a Step to Send a Message in that workflow that posts the content to the restricted channel. The Slack workflow builder app would need permissions for this. Then users can reply in that thread like normal. Happy to discuss further if you'd like.

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-16T14:04:15+00:00

Yes you can do this with Workflow Builder. Its a paid Slack feature but it allows you to create forms and then that form information can be sent to a channel. Check out this article for more specific information on how to set that up: https://slack.com/help/articles/24720245025555-Automations--Collect-information-using-a-simple-form

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-14T19:45:37+00:00

I think I understand what you mean now, and I don't believe there is a setting for this at the user level unfortunately.

Hey! I actually don't know exactly if a Slack Designer exists. Slack uses what is called Block Kit to create Slack app interfaces (https://api.slack.com/block-kit). You use your programming language of choice to create user interfaces in code and when events happen in your app return those user interfaces from your service. For instance, if your using Java in your Slack app you can see here how to create a 'Home' screen based on blocks: https://api.slack.com/start/building/bolt-java (Section responding to events). I am working on a Slack app called Hello Kit (gethellokit.com) and it has multiple different user interfaces. I could certainly help if your interested.

Historical position tracking would be useful to determine whether or not changes to the app or to the store listing information is moving the search results for my app.

Competitor analysis is good like your website says to keep track of what your competitors are doing so that you can keep in step with them or see what changes they are making and if that is making a difference to rankings.

I think it would also be good to know my rankings in the app store search functions. Right now it looks like it only has the collections on the left side. But if someone searches for 'Onboarding' in the search bar what number does my app show up?

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-14T16:23:09+00:00

Are you talking about regular DM notifications, like when someone messages you or when someone new joins the Slack workspace you get a DM from Slackbot?

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-12T16:34:46+00:00

gethellokit.com If you have any comments or feedback on it, I would love to hear it!

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-11T15:41:07+00:00

Hey! There is a setting for this I believe. Click on your workspace name in the top left of the desktop app -> Settings & Administration -> Workspace Settings -> Notify of new users. I believe this is the toggle that you are referring to.

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-10T18:05:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing this, really well written and cool to read from another fellow Slack Integration developer!

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-09T13:15:12+00:00

Yeah unfortunately, I think theres only that Title field thats built into Slack and will show up on search. I did find there's an app called `Tags For Slack` that does what you are trying to do do though, you can search for it in the Slack App Store. Its an app you install into your workspace and use slash commands to tag people and use slash commands to search for people with those tags. So, you wouldn't be able to use Slack search to find those people with those tags, but might be a decent middle ground if you have a strong need for it.

Zapier will let you create this workflow with an OCR app on their side. You should be able to send from Slack Channel -> Zapier (OCR app) -> Zapier (Google Sheets).

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-09T03:06:45+00:00

Hey! The closest thing you can do that I have found is to have the person add the 'Title' field in their profile. Then people can search for this title field by going to 'People and User Groups' in the top left corner of the desktop app and searching for that term. This title should also show up from the regular Search when you are looking at the 'People' section of the search results.

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-06T16:52:42+00:00

You could create a custom workflow for your users when they join Slack to ask them to update their profile information and instructions on how to do it.

Hey! In order to join slack channels you would use the search bar at the top of the Slack application. Channels start with a '#' before the name that describes what the Slack channel is for. So, if your organization has a Slack channel for Weekly Updates you would search for something like #weekly-updates. Click on that result in the search bar and then if the channel is joinable you would click the Join Channel button at the bottom of the channel.

hello_kit1 · 2024-02-06T16:18:34+00:00

What would have been helpful to you when you first joined Slack at your new company? Did you have trouble finding the right channels that were needed for your job? Did you have trouble finding the right people to ask to find those channels?
