Slack

We are now integrated with Slack! You can manage your Slack settings if you are a 15Five Administrator.

NOTE: Private answers or High Fives will not be posted to Slack.

The basic features of this integration:

Enable report submitted notifications to be posted in Slack.
Reviewers can share an answer on Slack to a designated channel.
You can mark any question so that all answers will get pushed into a designated channel.
You can push Goals & Accomplishments to a designated Slack channel.
You can push High Fives to a designated Slack channel.
You can push Group High Fives to a designated Slack channel.

By default, the 15Five app can currently access all shared channels in your workspace. In order to use private channels (Slack calls them groups), you have to specifically invite 15Five to that channel.
If you would like 15Five to post to a public shared channel then the flow is:

1. Invite 15Five to the regular channel then

2. Convert that channel to a shared channel.

NOTE: Currently we do not support posting to a private shared channel OR shared channel that was created as shared channel from the beginning (rather then converted to a shared channel). This is primarily due to shared channels API being in beta in Slack and there are some gaps in functionality (specifically permissions).
We do plan to implement “15Five check-in due” individual Slack notification soon.

Authorize Slack integration

Click on Add to Slack button.
You will be redirected to your Slack account.
Authorize 15Five on your Slack account and then return to your Slack settings in 15Five.

Sharing settings for Slack

Click on 'Company settings' in your upper right-hand corner.
Click on 'Integrations', then 'Slack', 'Edit Settings'.
Select 'Sharing Settings' and customize your options.

NOTE: If a team member edits their report and resubmits the report any Slack comments will be updated and reposted to the same channel.

Automate notifications

Enable share functions for Reporters or Reviewers

You can enable the sharing of answers by Reporters or Reviewers.

Share answers to specific questions

Click on your profile picture in your top right-hand corner.
Click on 'Manage Questions'.
Click on 'Ask a new question'.
Toggle on 'Share answers on Slack' and specify a public channel.

Share Goals & Accomplishments

You can enable the sharing of Goals & Accomplishments.

Go to a report that has Goals & Accomplishments.
Click on '...'.
Select 'Share on Slack'.

High Fives + Slack

Share High Fives to specific channels

Send High Fives to specific Slack channels. This works out great having a channel that is just made for team appreciation.

Group-specific Slack channels for High Fives

Group-specific channels allow you to push High Fives to certain Slack channels depending on the High Five recipient. This is particularly useful if you have a large team and Slack feels a little noisy at times.

For example, you could configure any High Fives received by members of the Engineering group to be pushed directly to a #dev-lounge Slack channel. Neat right?

NOTE: Currently, High Fives cannot be shared to a private Slack channel. Private answers or High Fives will not be posted to Slack.

How it works:

As a 15Five admin, head over to the Slack integrations settings page
Navigate to 'Sharing Settings' and scroll down to Group-specific High Fives
And select the Group High Fives you want to map over to a specific Slack channel

Give a High-Five directly from Slack

Now, you can give a High Five right from Slack! Just click on any channel and type the command: /highfive (followed by your High Five comments)

NOTE: For people who installed the Slack integration prior to February 14th, 2018, you will need to resinstall Slack. You will end up with two 15Five apps integrated with Slack.

The workaround for this is shown below:

To enable the Slack /highfive command:

Go to https://YOURSLACKSUBDOMAIN.slack.com/apps/manage
Remove the 15Five app.
Go to https://my.15five.com/slack/manage
Click 'Disable Slack'.
Click 'Add Slack' and confirm the permissions.
