Integrations
Slack
Publish alerts and post approvals in your team's Slack workspace
What it does
Once connected, Nimply posts to a Slack channel of your choice when:
- a post publishes (with a link to the live post)
- a post fails (with the error, so you can fix it before a client notices)
- a social account disconnects and needs reconnecting
- a post is submitted for approval — the message carries Approve / Reject buttons, so admins can decide without opening Nimply
You choose which of these events are sent, per workspace.
Connect
- In Nimply, go to Settings → Integrations → Slack and click Add to Slack.
- Slack asks you to pick your Slack workspace and approve — you need the OWNER or ADMIN role in the Nimply workspace.
- Back in Nimply, choose the channel alerts go to and toggle the events you want. Nothing is sent until a channel is chosen.
The bot can post to any public channel. To use a private channel, invite the bot to it in Slack first.
Approvals from Slack
Approval-request messages include Approve and Reject buttons. When someone clicks one, Nimply matches their Slack profile email to a Nimply account:
- The email must belong to a Nimply user who is an OWNER or ADMIN of the workspace — the same rule as approving in the app.
- Anyone else gets a private explanation and the post is untouched.
- The decision is recorded in Nimply's normal approval history ("Approved from Slack"), and the Slack message updates to show who decided.
Troubleshooting
- No messages arriving — check a channel is selected and the event is toggled on under Settings → Integrations → Slack; then confirm the bot wasn't removed from the channel.
- Approve button says my email doesn't match — your Slack profile email must equal your Nimply login email, and your role must be OWNER or ADMIN.
- Disconnecting — Settings → Integrations → Slack → Disconnect. Access is revoked immediately; reconnect any time.
