Setting up Personal Alerts

Personal notifications alert you to personally relevant activity in Vitally (such as tasks or activities being assigned to you) via a direct message to you in Slack. When you connect your Slack Workspace, we'll look for a user in the Workspace associated with the same email as your Vitally account and automatically connect that user account. Simply navigate to your Notifications page to connect your user account. Once your account is connected, you'll be able to turn on personal notifications with the switch on that page.

Sending notifications to private channels

By default, when you connect Vitally and Slack, Vitally is only given access to your public Slack channels. However, you can still send notifications to private channels. To do that, simply invite the Vitally bot to the private channel by mentioning it (via @Vitally). Once the bot has access to the private channel, that channel should show as an option in your channels list on the Slack configuration page in Vitally.
