We've extended the reach of your platform notifications with the Intellum app for Slack. With the Intellum app added, learners receive platform-powered notifications directly in Slack and can ping Intellum using a Slack shortcut to check in on the learning content in their Plan.
This article covers the platform setup required to connect to a Slack workspace, how unrestricted admin add the Intellum app to a Slack workspace through account Settings, and the process learners follow to authorize the Intellum app through their user profile.
Platform Setup
Connecting the Intellum app to your shared Slack workspace is a two-step process. First, an unrestricted admin connects the workspace to the Intellum platform at the Account level. Once the workspace is connected by an admin, learners can then add the Intellum app by authorizing Slack through the Integrations tab in their user profile.
Here's what you'll need to get started:
- A shared Slack workspace.
- The Notifications feature must be enabled on your Intellum account. Learn more about Notifications in the platform.
- Contact your customer success manager or an Intellum representative for info on enabling notifications.
- Leaners must have access to the Plan page to use the Slack shortcut for Plan information. Learn more about the Plan page.
