Connect Workable and Slack to set up notifications from your Workable account to arrive directly in your Slack account. Workable app in Slack:
- Enables Workable users to receive notifications in Slack, e.g., when someone is tagged to a comment or adds an evaluation for a candidate you are following, etc.
- Enables Workable users to perform actions directly in Slack:
- Add comment
- Reply to SMS
- Approve/reject offer & requisition approval requests
- Helps your team move quickly throughout the hiring process via customized notifications in Slack. Your team can get notified in Slack about:
- New applicants
- Evaluations and comments
- Approval requests, and much more!
Setting up the integration with Slack
Important notes:
- A Workable account can only have one active Slack workspace, and a Slack workspace cannot be activated for multiple Workable accounts.
- An admin user in multiple Workable accounts can enable Slack only for one of them. A different admin user needs to set this up for the other account(s).
- When app approval is enabled, the Workspace owner should either add Workable to the pre-approved apps list or grant users the ability to request app installation.
A Workable admin must perform the following steps one time to enable the integration for the Slack workspace:
- In Workable, click your user icon in the upper right and navigate to Settings, then Integrations > Apps
- Locate the Integration with Slack section
- Click Add to Slack and sign in to your workspace (if not already signed in)
- You'll be prompted to allow all needed permissions
That's it! The option to enable Slack notifications will now be available under your notification preferences.
Using the integration with Slack
-
Slack notification preferences
-
Now it’s time to decide which notifications you're interested in receiving in your Slack account. To do so:
- Navigate to the Your Preferences section
- Tick/untick Slack notifications based on your needs. Your default Slack notifications will be determined by your Email notifications.
- Once ready, click Save changes
Notes:
- Updating notification selections for users other than yourself is not possible as it is a personal preference.
- Your email address in Workable should match your email address in Slack to receive Slack notifications.
-
Slack notifications: what will they look like?
-
Information in notifications can vary depending on the type. For example, below is a Slack notification when a new candidate applies. Upon clicking on the candidate's name or the job title, users will be redirected to Workable for further actions.
-
Performing actions directly in Slack
-
You are able to perform specific actions within Slack without requiring a login to your Workable account. Specifically, you can:
- Reply to @ mention comment notification in Slack
- Reply to text message (SMS) in Slack
- Comment in a comment notification in Slack
Note: The comment's default visibility is the same as that of the previous comments in Workable, but you can update the comment's visibility in Slack while replying to the comment.
- Approve/reject requisition requests in Slack (individual or group of requisitions)
If you reject the requisition(s) via Slack, a window will open where you can optionally leave a rejection reason.
- Approve/reject offer requests in Slack as long as you are not a signatory. If you are a signatory you will be redirected to Workable to Approve & Sign the offer.
Disabling the integration with Slack
A Workable admin can remove the integration entirely by clicking Disconnect in the Integration with Slack settings.
