Slack

Use Flowgear's pre-built connector to integrate with Slack

Product description

Slack is a cloud-based team communication and collaboration tool that allows for synchronous communication on different devices.

Simplify the work of your teams by integrating business systems with Slack.

Use the Flowgear platform to increase your productivity and profitability while delivering customer excellence!

Benefits of using this connector

  • Integrations quickly become a critical component in a business so stability is incredibly important.

    Third Party endpoints like Slack are frequently updated, which if unmanaged, can result in downtime. Hand-coded integrations require frequent review or dependence on a third party integrator making it difficult to avoid breaking changes.

    The Flowgear Slack is a robust wrapper around the underlying API or database and new versions of this Connector are shipped as the vendor releases updates. This approach minimizes overhead and ensures integrations remain functional across vendor product updates.
  • Avoid complex API documentation, deliver solutions in 25% of the time compared to hand code.

    Each Flowgear connector includes a set of Samples.

    These samples visually surface all the features, objects and fields made available by the Slack API, including any customized objects.

    Example: "Create Contact" quickly filter through 3500 Salesforce Objects.
