Your sales team lives in Slack. Now HummingDeck does too.
We're excited to announce our new Slack integration — get instant, detailed notifications in your team's Slack channel the moment a prospect opens your sales deck, proposal, or any shared content.
No more refreshing dashboards. No more checking email. The alert comes to you, right where your team already works.
Why Slack Notifications Matter
In sales, timing is everything. The difference between a warm lead and a cold one can be minutes. When a prospect opens your proposal at 2 PM on a Tuesday, that's the moment to follow up — not the next morning when you happen to check your analytics.
Strike while the iron is hot
Sales reps who follow up within 5 minutes of a prospect engaging with content are 9x more likely to convert. Slack notifications make that possible.
With Slack alerts, your entire team gets visibility into prospect engagement without switching tools or setting up complex workflows.
What You Get in Each Notification
Every Slack notification includes the details you need to act immediately:
- Deck title with a direct link to analytics
- Viewer identity — name and company (when a personal link was opened)
- Engagement metrics — time spent, pages viewed, completion rate
- Click data — how many links they clicked
- One-click access to the full analytics dashboard
No more digging through dashboards — everything you need for a timely follow-up is right in the notification.
Set Up in a Few Clicks
Getting started takes less than a minute. Here's the entire process:
1. Connect to Slack
Head to your workspace Settings and find the Slack integration. Click Add to Slack.
2. Pick Your Channel
Slack will ask you to select your workspace and the channel where you want notifications. Choose a channel your sales team monitors — a deal room, a team channel, or even a dedicated notifications channel.
3. You're Connected
That's it. Your workspace is linked, and you'll see the connected status in Settings. You can change the channel or disconnect anytime.
Per-Link Control
Not every share link needs a Slack ping. That's why we built per-link notification control:
- Single links — Slack notifications are on by default
- Bulk imports — notifications are off by default (you don't want 200 pings)
- Toggle anytime — flip Slack notifications on or off for any link from the link listing
This means you can enable alerts for your top prospects and keep things quiet for mass sends.
Slack notifications are independent from email notifications. You can use both, either, or neither — per link.
Available on Pro and Business Plans
The Slack integration is available on our Pro and Business plans. If you're on a free or starter plan, upgrade to unlock real-time Slack alerts along with other powerful features.
What's Next
This is just the beginning of our integrations journey. We're actively working on bringing HummingDeck notifications and data into more tools your team uses every day. Stay tuned.
