Quire and Slack work great together.

It is our mission to help you work seamlessly via Quire and other apps you are already comfortably using. With the integration with Slack, we are one step closer.

For those of you who often communicate on Slack, you and your team can now receive updates about your Quire projects right inside a Slack channel, add tasks, comment on tasks and more.

How do I integrate with Slack?

You need to link an organization to a Slack team, and a project to a Slack channel.

1. Go to Quire & Beyond

   

2. Choose Slack and click on Install

   

3. Choose the organization that you would like to integrate Slack to

   

4. Authorize Quire on your Slack account

   

5. Unlink a Slack channel on Quire Organization Settings

   

Note: A Slack channel can only be linked to one Quire project.

What can I do in a Slack channel?

When you are all set up, here are some commands to get you started in Slack:

1. Get Notified Instantly in Your Slack Channel

You can make a Slack channel follow a project or more for the team to stay on top of changes made in the projects.

Take projects Design Project (with project ID Design_Project) and Marketing Project (with project ID Marketing_Project) for example.

You can type:

/quire follow project Design_Project Marketing_Product

Note: Once you make a channel follow a project or more, everyone will get notified of all activities in the projects.

You can also make the team follow a specific task or more in a project, once you linked it to a Slack channel (see Step 4 above).

For tasks Logo Design (with task ID 123) and UI Design (with task ID 456), you just type:

/quire follow 123 456

2. Add Tasks Directly to Your Quire Project

You can add tasks to a Quire project directly from your Slack channel, and assign it to a team member, set due date, add tags, etc., at the same time.

For example, you can type:

/quire add Logo design @eric <Oct 25; Nov 21> #Design !1

to add a task called Logo design that is assigned to Eric, and has a start date of Oct 25, due date of Nov 21, tag of Design and priority Urgent.

Note: Even when a task is created by you, you need to make the channel follow the task in order to get notified in Slack.

3. Comment on Tasks While You Chat

You can add a comment to a task after a discussion or chat with your team members, right from Slack.

For example, you want to comment on the logo that Eric designed (with task ID 123).

You can type:

/quire comment 123 Looks awesome!
Let’s go with Option 2.

That is not all!
