Connect QR Advanced to Slack
Receive alert notifications directly in your Slack workspace when important events happen with your QR codes.
Connect QR Advanced to Slack to receive alert notifications directly in your Slack channels. When alerts trigger, you'll get instant messages keeping your team informed.
What You Can Receive
Slack notifications work with our Alerts feature. When an alert triggers, a formatted message is sent to your chosen Slack channel with:
- Alert name and type
- Affected QR code
- Relevant metrics (scan counts, thresholds, etc.)
- Direct link to your dashboard
Connecting Slack
Step 1: Start the Connection
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Slack
- Click Connect Slack
Step 2: Authorize in Slack
- You'll be redirected to Slack
- Select your workspace
- Review the permissions (we request minimal access)
- Click Allow
Step 3: Select a Channel
- After connecting, select a default channel from the dropdown
- This is where alert notifications will be sent
- Make sure the QR Advanced bot is invited to private channels
Step 4: Test the Connection
Click Send Test Message to verify everything is working. You should see a confirmation message in your selected channel.
Managing Your Connection
Change Channel
Select a different channel from the dropdown. Alerts will immediately start going to the new channel.
Disconnect
Click Disconnect to remove the Slack integration. This revokes the QR Advanced bot's access to your workspace.
Per-Alert Configuration
You can enable or disable Slack notifications for individual alerts:
- Go to Alerts
- Edit an alert
- Toggle Slack notification on or off
- Save the alert
This lets you receive Slack notifications only for your most important alerts.
Troubleshooting
Messages Not Appearing
- Check that Slack is connected and active
- Verify a default channel is selected
- Ensure the alert has Slack notifications enabled
- Make sure the QR Advanced bot is in the channel (for private channels)
"No Slack channel selected" Error
Go to Settings > Integrations > Slack and select a default channel from the dropdown.
Permission Issues
If you see permission errors, try disconnecting and reconnecting Slack. Make sure you're a workspace admin or have permission to install apps.
