How Slack channel notifications work

Tettra can notify Slack channels of events that occur in a Tettra category (or a default channel for uncategorized items). You can opt to send notifications for the following events: 

  • A page is created
  • A page is updated
  • A page is commented on 
  • A page request is created or closed
  • A question is asked or answered 


Connect a Tettra category to a Slack channel

 When you're on the category page, click the kebab menu, and then click Edit category.

Slack notification examples

Once your Tettra categories are connected to Slack channels, you'll have a few options to send notifications in Slack. 


New page notification

After you publish a new page in a connected category, at the top right of the page, you can send a Slack notification by pressing the Notify #{channel name}:

The content of the page will be sent to Slack, and your team can click Show more to view the entire page right in Slack. Clicking the page title links to the page in Tettra:

Page updated notification

When a page is updated, and you send a notification to Slack by clicking the Notify #channel button, you'll send an update notification to that Slack channel. Your team can click View changes to view the version history of the page and the changes made during the last edit. Learn more about version history.
