15Five App for Slack — Feature Overview

The 15Five app for Slack lets users submit Check-ins, receive notifications, and share recognition without leaving Slack. Admins configure company-wide sharing settings; individual users manage their own notification preferences.

Note: To ensure the highest level of security, 15Five is continually investing in our overall information security program, resources, and expertise. To review 15Five's security documents, and how we handle your company data, see our Trust Website. 

Feature Structure

The integration is configured from Settings > Integrations > Slack > Manage. The Slack settings page contains three tabs:

Sharing Settings Capabilities

Check-ins

• Submitted Check-ins: Automatically sends a notification to a designated channel each time someone submits a Check-in.
• Check-in Answers: Lets users manually share their Check-in answers to a designated channel.
• Priorities: Lets users manually share their Check-in priorities to a designated channel.

High Fives

• All High Fives: Automatically shares all public High Fives to one designated channel.
• Group-specific High Fives: Automatically shares public High Fives given to members of a specific group to a designated channel.

Key Rules

• Only one Slack workspace can be integrated with a 15Five account at a time.
• Only one Slack channel can be designated for All High Fives.
• If no channel is specified in a sharing setting, content pushes to the default channel set in the Setup tab.
• Adding the 15Five bot to a Slack channel requires both 15Five account admin and Slack workspace admin roles.
• Adding the bot to a private channel requires workspace admin access to that specific channel.
• Check-in answer attachments do not push to Slack — only the text answer transfers.
• Users must share the same email address in 15Five and Slack to use the app as an individual.
• Disabling the integration preserves all previously configured preferences; re-enabling restores them.
