Eva Here is an article to learn how to set up the integration between Slack and Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync). Follow all these steps to connect your favorite tools together!
What is Slack?
Slack is a communication platform that can replace email to help you and your team work together seamlessly. It’s designed to support the way people naturally work together, so you can collaborate with people online as efficiently as you do face-to-face.
Slack Integration
We have developed an integration with Slack because we know that more and more teams communicate through this tool. You can instantly turn updates and progress in your projects into messages in Slack so everyone will have the most up to date information and be able to work from both platforms and stay synchronized. Build up your own integration in Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) and receive the notifications you need. If you want to keep the whole team in the loop by seamlessly sending messages from Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) to Slack, this integration is made for you!
How to connect Slack with Catenda Hub?
First, you need to connect to your slack workspace and click on the link customize + your workspace (in this case it is Test).
Then you will have to click on “Menu” in the top left corner, a list will popup as shown on the picture below.
Click on “Configure apps” and on “Custom integrations”. Make sure that you are in the menu “Manage”, as seen in the top right corner. Click on the section “Incoming Webhooks”. If you are Admin you will have a button “add to slack”, if you are a regular user you will have a button “request configuration”.
In that particular case, you will have to click on the button “request configuration” and ask your admin the permission to set up this integration, as shown in the picture below.
Once you have the rights, you will be able to proceed and click on the button “add to slack” on the left side of the page.
NB: If you do not have the app “Incoming Webhooks”, look for it in the search bar. Once you find it, click on the button “add to slack”.
In the next step, you will have to choose the slack channel where you will receive your notifications and messages. You can decide to post it on a public channel where you communicate with your team or your personal channel.
After choosing your channel, a webhook URL will be created. Copy and paste the URL in red and Sign in to your Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) Account.
On Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync), select a project you would like to connect with Slack.
Once you have chosen your project, look at the side menu and click on notifications.
Click on the menu settings in the top right corner.
Choose the notifications from your Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) project you want to receive in Slack
Paste the webhook URL you got from Slack in the field Webhook URL in Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync).
Do not forget to activate the slack notifications by turning the button on.
You are done with the setup! You will now receive all the notifications from your Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) project directly in Slack.
