Smartsheet Announces Integration With Slack

Smartsheet notifications delivered to Slack channels deliver improved visibility and accelerate work execution

BELLEVUE, Wash., April 13, 2018 – Smartsheet, a leading cloud-based platform for work execution, today announced Smartsheet for Slack, an integration that delivers Smartsheet notifications to a team’s workspace in Slack and allows employees to work seamlessly across platforms.

“We’re constantly working on ways to help our customers be more productive by enabling them to connect Smartsheet with the other apps they use every day,” said Gene Farrell, Senior Vice President of Product. “The Smartsheet integration with Slack provides real-time task and project updates to Slack channels to help teams get more done and make better decisions, faster.”

Updates made in Smartsheet can now trigger automatic notifications to a preferred Slack channel. Teams can be notified to learn about important action items, join in the celebration of a key milestone or, to cite just a few other examples, when:

• A new IT ticket is opened;
• A sales deal closes;
• A spec gets added to a task or task ownership changes;
• A new entry is added to an intake sheet or form;
• A project status turns to ‘high’ priority;
• Required budget exceeds a specified threshold.

"Enterprise group messaging products are great for facilitating conversations, but their simple chronological nature isn’t designed for the complexities of project or process coordination,” said Alan Lepofsky, vice president, Constellation Research. “Bringing together conversations with a real-time view of work being executed helps teams to work more efficiently, while enhancing the organization's operational visibility."
