Slack Integration

Connect Slack to receive workspace activity notifications in your selected channel.

Before you start

  • Slack integration is available on Team plan workspaces.
  • You need workspace permission to manage integrations.
  • Use Connect with Slack for the simplest setup.
  • Use webhook URL instead is an advanced/manual fallback if you already have a Slack incoming webhook URL.

Option A (recommended): Connect with Slack (OAuth)

Start in Ouraboard. You do not need to create your own Slack app for the normal OAuth flow.

Connect in Ouraboard

  1. Open Workspace Settings → Slack in Ouraboard.
  2. Click Connect with Slack.
  3. In Slack OAuth screen, choose the target channel and click Allow.
  4. Back in Ouraboard, confirm the channel appears under Connected channels.
  5. Click Send test and verify message in Slack channel.

If the new channel does not appear immediately, wait a moment and refresh the Slack settings page once.

Option B: Manual webhook setup

Use this only if you already have a Slack incoming webhook URL and want to configure the connection manually.

  1. Create or open your Slack app and enable Incoming Webhooks.
  2. Create a webhook for the target channel and copy the generated URL.
  3. In Workspace Settings → Slack, click Use webhook URL instead.
  4. Fill: Channel name (display name) and Slack incoming webhook URL.
  5. Choose event types and click Connect.
  6. Use Send test to verify delivery immediately.

Select events

  • Issue created/updated
  • Status or column changed
  • Mentions or assignment updates

Save settings and use Send test to verify channel delivery.

Troubleshooting

  • If OAuth start fails immediately, Slack OAuth may not be configured for this environment yet — contact support/admin.
  • Reconnect if the app was removed from the Slack workspace.
  • Verify channel permissions for the installed app.
  • If manual webhook returns 404/410, generate a new incoming webhook URL in Slack.
