Slack Integration

Tier: Basic — Toggle-only integration. Flips Slack on as a supported channel and keeps your Slack settings available as FlowMattic variables.

The Slack integration in SyteOps is a toggle — enabling it signals that your operation uses Slack, unlocks related configuration fields, and keeps Slack-related workflow pieces available. The actual Slack messaging is performed by FlowMattic using SyteOps-synced variables.

What the toggle does​

  • Makes Slack-related configuration fields visible on the relevant settings tabs.
  • Ensures SyteOps-synced credentials and channel identifiers are available to FlowMattic as variables.
  • Keeps the feature surface out of client-facing admin views when toggled off.

Setup​

  1. Navigate to SyteOps → Integrations.
  2. Find Slack in the Communication category.
  3. Toggle it ON and click Save Changes.

Because Slack is a SaaS/API integration (not a WordPress plugin), there's no install-detection step. Turning the toggle on is enough.

Connect Slack to your FlowMattic workflow​

  1. In Slack, create an Incoming Webhook (Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks) for the channel you want to post to. Copy the webhook URL.

  2. In FlowMattic, open the workflow you want to send Slack messages from.

  3. Add a step using Webhook / HTTP Request:

    • Method: POST
    • URL: the Slack webhook URL
    • Content-Type: application/json
    • Body:
    {"text": "{syteops_variable_here}"}

  4. Replace {syteops_variable_here} with any SyteOps-synced FlowMattic variable (a user name, a role aggregator, a CRM field, a custom variable set) or static text.

  5. Save the workflow and run a test.

Common use-cases​

  • Notify an ops channel when a new user is created or a role assignment changes.
  • Alert on endpoint scan failures from the Server Connections page.
  • Post daily summaries of FlowMattic workflow runs.
  • Escalate errors surfaced by SyteOps logging.
