Setup
Connect it in three steps
Add to Slack
From the project, open Notifications → Slack, choose the workspace and allow. Public channels are ready at once; for a private one, first type /invite @planitude there.
Choose channel and updates
Pick the channel, which updates to send, how to group close changes (from immediately to 60 minutes), the language and the time zone of the messages.
Read and ask
Updates arrive in the channel with a link to the task. Type /planitude status to get the project status: only you see the answer.
Requirements
- Plan

- Who can connect it
- Owner or editor of the Planitude project; viewers see the connection status.
- What you need
- A Slack workspace where you can add apps. For a private channel, first invite the app with /invite @planitude.

Frequently asked questions about Slack
Do notifications reach people who do not use Planitude?
Yes. Every member of the channel can read the messages; opening the task from the link requires an account with access to the project.
Can I connect several channels to the same project?
Each project can post to one Slack channel and one Teams channel. Several projects, on the other hand, can post to the same channel.
Do the integrations cost anything?
No. Every integration is included in Planitude, which is free. You only need your own access to the other tool (for example a Jira, Slack or Microsoft 365 account) under its own terms.
How do I disconnect an integration?
From the app's page in the project, with Disconnect, at any time. Nothing is deleted: tasks stay in Planitude, issues and messages stay in the other tool. Connected AI apps are revoked from Profile → API keys.
