By using the Slack integration you agree to PhotoShelter's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

• When approvals or comments are added to files in a specific Workspace

Purchasing

This will serve as your integrations account and allow everyone in your Slack workspace to access PhotoShelter without impacting your login limit. 
2. Next, you will need to contact our Customer Success team to purchase the integration.

FAQ

Can you send notifications from multiple Galleries or Workspaces to a single Slack channel? 

Yes. To do this, you'll need to create a solution for each of the Galleries or Workspaces you want notifications for. Each of the solutions should be configured with the same Slack channel name. 

Can you send notifications from the same Gallery or Workspace to multiple Slack channels? 

Yes. As above, you'll need to create a solution for each Slack channel you want to receive the notifications. In these solutions, the Gallery (or Workspace) will stay the same and the Slack channels will be different.

Can you send notifications to locked Slack channels? 

Yes. If you want to send notifications to a locked channel, you'll need to invite the PhotoShelter Brands app to the channel.
