Product Update: Slack Integration and Enhanced Win Loss Analysis

Data Parrot Comes to Slack

Your daily and weekly notifications can now flow directly into Slack, meeting your team where they already work. No more switching to email for pipeline updates.

Notifications Where You Work

Choose your delivery preference:

• Email only for traditional inbox delivery
• Slack only for team collaboration
• Both for maximum visibility

The Slack notifications include everything from email versions:

• Pipeline changes and trends
• Won and lost deal summaries
• Deal health alerts
• Activity metrics
• AI insights and recommendations

Team Collaboration Built In

Slack notifications enable instant action:

• Discuss deal changes in thread
• Tag team members for immediate attention
• Share insights across channels
• Create action items from alerts
• Keep deal discussions in context

Simple Setup

Connect Slack in minutes:

1. Go to Settings > Integrations
2. Click "Connect Slack"
3. Choose your notification channel
4. Configure preferences in User Management

Each user controls their own notification preferences - some might prefer email, others Slack, and power users might want both.
