Integration Summary
Slack is an instant messaging platform for businesses, facilitating team communication and collaboration in one place.
Our integration allows you to complete actions that you’d carry out on Learn Amp by using shortcuts in Slack.
Main Features
Enjoy a seamless experience between Learn Amp and Slack. Carry out actions that you’d do on Learn Amp without ever leaving Slack, simply by entering commands.
Transform a web link into an item on Learn Amp.
Receive notifications in your Slack thread about upcoming tasks and deadlines, and their priority level.
Carry out searches on Learn Amp on certain topics, view the most highly rated items on this topic, and share them on to a fellow colleague via Slack messaging.
1-Click Single Sign On for organisations with a ‘Business+’ or above Slack Plan (optional)
Information that can be synced using the slash command
Once the integration has been set up, you’ll be able to start using the integration. To use, simply open up Slack and type in the command you’d like to us.
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.
