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.
Feature Structure
The integration is configured from Settings > Integrations > Slack > Manage. The Slack settings page contains three tabs:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Setup | Set a default Slack channel; disable the integration |
| Sharing Settings | Configure feature-specific notifications to designated channels |
| Questions Shared to Slack | View all Check-in questions configured to push answers to Slack |
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.
