Intro to Slack Integration

Slack integration connects your 5day.io account to Slack workspace, enabling seamless two-way sync between project updates and team communication. The 5day.io bot delivers all configured 5day.io notifications into Slack, while the /5day.io slash command lets you create tasks instantly from any message.

Why Integration is Important​

Integrating 5day.io with Slack eliminates the gap between where your team talks and where work gets done.

  • Capture action items instantly: Turn a “we should do X” into a task in seconds.
  • Stay notified in flow: Get task assignments, due dates, comments, and status changes right in Slack.
  • Reduce app switching: No more copying links or retyping context.
  • Keep everyone aligned: Stakeholders see updates in channels they already watch.

Perfect for agile teams, remote crews, or anyone using Slack as their collaboration hub.
