Viewing Learn Amp activity within Slack
Once your Slack Team has been connected to your Company's Learn Amp account, you can designate a Slack channel, and Learn Amp will post either your whole company or a specific team's learning activity into that channel. Information synced to Slack is configured by Learn Amp administrator using Activity Feeds.
For example, if someone in your team marks a training course as completed, a Slack notification will appear with that user's name, a link to their profile, and a link to the course they have completed.

Known Limitations/Considerations
Task Commands: In Learn Amp users can be set tasks to complete items, learnlists, quizzes and channels. The slack commands /la tasks, /la tasks overdue and /la tasks mandatory will not surface information on assigned surveys, 1-1s or any content not otherwise tasked as an item, learnlist, quiz or channel.
Activity Feeds: Activity feeds can contain updates for all all users, or for a selected team. Activity feeds cannot be created for updates on individual users or groups.
...
How the Platforms Connect
The Slack Integration uses Slacks Web API (https://api.slack.com/web) in order to read channels, user information and to post notifications and updates.
Slack’s slash commands feature calls back to Learn Amp for real time integration.
Single Sign On is achieved using Slack’s OAuth2 authentication flow.
