Integrate ION notifications with Slack and Gov Slack
Demo of Slack notifications in action
Get notified in Slack of ION events to close the loop on critical issues and help your factory move faster. Any notification in ION can be output to Slack, allowing teams to bring users back to ION at key moments. This is important for onboarding new team members who need to develop the habit of using ION on a daily basis.
If a user is subscribed to a certain ION object and that object changes state, a user is mentioned in a comment, or assigned a task, ION will notify that user directly in Slack.
For example, if as user is mentioned are mentioned (@Alice) in a comment in ION that will send a direct message to Alice in Slack with a link back to ION where the location that the mention came from.

Examples of notification types within ION
ION has many notification types to configure - see the list below or reference the
NotificationTypeEnum
