Alerts integration
Intakra + Slack
Email comes first, and Slack is optional. Paste a Slack incoming webhook URL on the Alerts page and Intakra posts a short message to that channel when a company on your list starts something that clears your bar, or when a heads-up has about a week left. It is not an app from the Slack directory: you create the webhook in Slack, and you can remove it anytime. If you want your own format or schedule instead, the REST API returns the same heads-ups.
Pick how strong a heads-up must be before it is sent. "Strongest only" means a few a week at most.
Each message names the company, what started, and roughly how long you likely have, with a link back to the proof.
GET /api/v1/opportunities with an API key returns open heads-ups, highest priority first, if you'd rather post them with your own script.
Setup
- 01In Slack, create an incoming webhook for the channel you want.
- 02In Intakra, open Alerts and paste the webhook URL.
- 03Turn on Slack alerts and choose how strong a heads-up must be before it is sent.
Included on every plan. Uses a Slack incoming webhook, not a Slack directory app.
Questions
Is there a Slack app to install?
No. Intakra posts through a Slack incoming webhook that you create and control. There is no app in the Slack directory today, and we would rather say so than list one.
What does a Slack message contain?
The company, what started, one line on what it usually means, and roughly how long you likely have, with a link back to the proof. Pushing to your CRM or marking it "Not relevant" happens in Intakra, where the reason is saved.
