If Slack is enabled for your company and has been successfully integrated, the 15Five app can be added to your Slack account. Adding the 15Five app to your Slack account allows you to manage 15Five items via Slack and receive notifications via Slack. Below are the steps to adding the 15Five app to your Slack account, interacting with the 15Five app in Slack, and a list of the capabilities of the Slack and 15Five integration.
Add the 15Five app to your Slack account
1. Scroll down to the 'Apps' portion of your Slack window and click the '+' sign.
2. Search for "15Five".
3. Click on the icon shown below.
4. Confirm that the 15Five app is appearing in your Slack account.
Note
You may see an alert saying, "Slack has not reviewed this app and does not endorse or certify it. The permissions this app requests have not been reviewed by Slack." This error means that our app hasn’t been reviewed by Slack, so we aren’t in their formal App Directory. However, we do comply with Slack's Terms of Service, which is necessary in order to integrate with them.
