Slack Integration
Send SMS alerts from your Slack workspace
About Slack
Slack is the world's most popular business communication platform, revolutionizing how teams collaborate and work together. Used by millions of professionals across organizations of all sizes, Slack provides real-time messaging, file sharing, video calls, and seamless integration with hundreds of business tools.
From quick one-on-one messages to organized channel discussions, Slack keeps teams connected and productive. Its searchable message history, customizable notifications, and powerful workflow automation features make it the central hub for modern team communication and collaboration.
Extending Slack with SMS
While Slack excels at internal team communication, integrating SMS capabilities bridges the gap between your team discussions and external customer communication. Send text messages directly from Slack channels, trigger SMS alerts based on workspace events, and keep customers informed without leaving your collaboration platform.
This integration is perfect for on-call rotations, customer service alerts, sales notifications, and emergency communications. When team members receive critical alerts in Slack, they can immediately send SMS notifications to customers, clients, or stakeholders who need to be informed.
