Slack Integration

Create and comment on Zenhub issues directly in Slack, and receive real-time issue updates where your team already communicates.

Zenhub's Slack integration lets your team create, comment on, and stay updated about Zenhub issues directly in Slack — so collaboration can happen where conversations already live, even if some teammates don't have a Zenhub account. For more information see the official feature page.

Requirements

A Slack admin must complete the first-time connection between your Zenhub organization and your Slack workspace.
After the organization is connected, anyone in the Slack workspace can connect Slack channels to Zenhub workspaces.
A Zenhub account is not required for basic actions. However, a GitHub account is still required to create or comment on GitHub issues.

Installing the integration

In Zenhub, go to your Organization dashboard.
Open Integrations.
Select Connect your organization to a Slack workspace and click Connect.
Complete the Slack installation flow.
After installation, connect Zenhub workspaces to Slack channels from the Edit Workspace page.
