Slack Integration & Rules

The Slack integration & rules allow you to send a user’s profile and information to a Slack channel. A few real-world examples are:

• when a user conversion happens, the user’s information is sent to your Slack channel
• when a user visits a help page, the user’s information is sent to your Support channel
