Coavon for Slack

Q: Does it work with Scope, Docs or Chat?

Not yet. Today Coavon for Slack works with Flow projects and tasks.

Q: Can I reply to a task's comments from Slack?

Not yet. The link in each update opens the task in Flow, where you can comment.

Q: Where do I find it in the Slack Marketplace?

You add Coavon to Slack from Workplace, under Settings and Integrations, rather than from Slack's directory.

Keep your team up to date where they already talk. Each Flow project can post its updates to a Slack channel, any Slack message can become a Flow task, and a Flow link shared in Slack shows what the task is.

Included on Pro and above

What it does

Project updates in a channel

Choose a channel for each Flow project, and which updates go there: new tasks, finished tasks, tasks that need someone's approval, and status updates about how the project is going.

A Slack message becomes a task

Open the menu on any message and choose Create a Flow task. Pick the name, project, who it is for and a due date. The message and a link back to it go in the task's description.

Previews of Flow links

Paste a link to a Flow task in Slack and it shows the task's name and details, so nobody has to open it to see what it is.

Set it up

An owner or admin opens Workplace, then Settings, Integrations and Slack, and chooses Add to Slack. Slack asks you to allow Coavon in your Slack workspace.
Each person links their own Slack account in the same place, with Sign in with Slack. This is what lets them make tasks from messages and share link previews.
In Slack, add Coavon to each channel that should get updates: open the channel and type /invite @Coavon.
In Flow, open a project's settings and choose Slack. Pick the channel and the updates you want, then save.

How it works, and what Coavon can see

A task made from a Slack message is made by you, as if you had made it in Flow, and only in projects you can see.
A link preview appears only when the person who shared the link has linked their Slack account and can see the task. Slack shows a preview to everyone in the channel, so share task links where their details are fine to show.
Coavon cannot read the conversations in your channels. It sees a message only when you choose Create a Flow task on it, and a link only when it is a link to Flow.
Slack's pass for Coavon is kept encrypted on Coavon's server. Coavon asks Slack for as little as it can: posting in channels it has been added to, listing those channels, the message menu item, and previews of Flow links. Linking a person uses Sign in with Slack, which only proves who they are.
An owner or admin can remove Coavon from Slack in Workplace at any time, and anyone can unlink their own Slack account there.
