Slack channels and groups#
To send messages from Allegra to Slack channels, enter an Allegra group of the same name as the responsible or observer of an event. The notifications will be sent to the Slack channel according to the set notification triggers and notification filters for the associated workspaces.

Direct messages in Slack#
If there is a user in Slack with the same email address as in Allegra, this user will receive Slack direct messages according to his Allegra notification settings. However, he can turn this off in his user profile.
