With Dscout's Slack integration, you can easily keep up-to-date on activity in your Dscout account and quickly share media from your projects with your colleagues.
Enable the Slack integration
Account Owners, admins, or researchers can enable the Slack integration on the Dscout Account page.
To access the Account page, click the name of your Dscout account in the left navigation panel. Then, click the Settings icon.
On the Account page, go to the "Settings" tab, then click "Integrations." Tap “Add workspace” to set up your Slack workspace.
In the authorization pop-up, review the integration permissions, then click “Authorize.”
Receiving account updates
After adding your Slack workspace, you can select a public Slack channel to receive instant updates about activity in your Dscout account. Simply choose the specific events for which you’d like to receive notifications.
Share media to Slack
In-context examples help teams to build consensus and make informed decisions. If your Dscout account has the Slack integration enabled, you and your team can send media from Dscout projects directly to public channels in your Slack workspace using public share links.
Specifically, you can share:
- Videos and photos in Recruit applications
- Videos and photos in Diary entries
- Clips in Live sessions
To share media to Slack:
- Click the “Share” button on the desired media in Dscout
- In the public share link settings modal, click “Generate public share link”
- Add a link title, require an access code, or set a link expiration date if desired
- Expand the “Share it on Slack” option to select a Slack channel and write an optional note
- Click “Share to Slack” to post the media (accessed via public share link) to your desired channel
Disable the Slack integration
Dscout account managers or owners can disable the Slack integration on the Dscout Account page.
To access the Account page, click "Account" in your profile dropdown, located in the top right corner of your screen. Alternatively, from the Dscout home page, click the "Account Management" button to the right of the search bar.
On the Account page, go to the “Integrations” tab to remove your Slack workspace. Click “Remove workspace.”
