Does Simple Chat integrate with Slack?
Yes. Simple Chat can post to configured Slack channels as part of your support workflow—for example when a conversation needs staff attention or when a custom rule asks the assistant to notify your team. You control Slack settings and routing rules in the app.
What Slack is used for
Slack is a team notification layer, not a replacement for the Simple Chat inbox.
- Messages can go to channels you select when support needs human eyes.
- Notifications fit into your existing workflow alongside chat and email in the dashboard.
- The AI can alert the right channel when escalation or routing rules apply.
Use Slack when your team already coordinates in workspaces and wants chat-driven events pushed there.
When notifications are sent
Posts typically align with moments that need staff involvement.
- A conversation needs staff attention (for example escalation or a case the AI should not close alone).
- A custom rule in your configuration tells the assistant to notify your team in Slack.
You define which channels are in play and under what conditions—not a single fixed alert for every message.
What you configure in the app
Merchants manage Slack from Simple Chat settings.
- Slack settings — connect workspaces and choose eligible channels.
- Routing rules — decide which channels may be notified and when (including escalation channels that always receive certain events).
Channel routing and formatting live in your notification/tool configuration so alerts match how your team actually works.
