Slack is an instant messaging application. Teams use it to collaborate ongoing project updates at one place. Its smart search from all your projects makes it worthwhile to find right results from your large notifications data. With its integration with Yodiz, you will be able to maximize visibility and collaboration among your team members.

Yodiz supports WebHook integration with Slack. Integration will enable you to notify for:

  1. Item update posts on Channels and the Slack team can see the notifications.
  2. Get notification about a code change or pull request event made from Github in Yodiz.
  3. See example steps for details.
