Introducing the Visualping Slack App Integration

Introducing Visualping’s New Slack Integration

As Slack will soon deprecate the integration we use to notify your Slack workspace of web page change alerts, we’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our newly upgraded Slack app integration.

When Visualping detects a change on one of the web pages you’re monitoring, receive the alert in any number of Slack channels you choose.

Our new Slack app makes it easier to streamline your collaboration with your team. And, by receiving alerts in your company’s preferred messaging app, you can better integrate important web changes in your team’s workflow.

You can find Visualping Website Change Detection in the Slack App Directory.

Why Integrate Visualping with Slack?

The new Slack app makes it easier to streamline your collaboration with your team. It also allows you to better integrate change alerts into your team’s workflow. Staying on top of updates no longer requires the hassle of rechecking your inbox throughout the workday.

Receive web changes important to your business where your business communicates the most – in Slack.

Out with the old, in with the new!

1. Detect page updates at speed and scale

Prompt change alerts

When Visualping detects a change on one of the web pages you’re monitoring, get notified in Slack on the same day, or within even 5 minutes, so you and your team can respond right away.

2. Quickly understand web changes

Highlighted before-and-after alerts

Understanding changes is easy with Visualping – including with the Slack integration. Simply open your Slack channel, and see what’s changed with highlighted before-and-after alerts.

Leverage Visualping’s advanced custom reports to review hundreds of historical changes in one glance.

3. Easily collaborate with your team

Change alerts in your Slack channels

The new Slack app makes it easier to collaborate with your team. This is because change alerts are sent directly to where your team works – in Slack. Keep your team on the same page by automatically sending alerts to anyone, where your team communicates the most.

By sending alerts to your designated Slack channels, the new Slack app also allows you to notify only exactly who needs to know about a given web page’s changes.

4. Customize your change alerts

Flexible notification preferences

Customize your change alerts in Slack by turning up the volume for certain channels, or muting others with Slack’s notification preferences. Filter Slack notifications for certain keywords or phrases.
