Slack
Connect a Slack workspace and post the status updates you publish to a channel. Nothing posts until you publish.
on this page
Slack is where sprintrr delivers status updates. It posts the updates you publish — never drafts — to the channel you pick.
Connect
- Open Settings → Status updates and click Connect Slack.
- Slack opens in a new tab and asks you to allow sprintrr in your workspace. Approve it.
- Come back to sprintrr. The panel shows your workspace and a posts to channel picker.
sprintrr asks Slack for four permissions:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
chat:write | Post the updates you publish. |
channels:read | List public channels for the picker. |
groups:read | List private channels sprintrr has been invited to. |
channels:join | Join a public channel by itself the first time it posts there. |
Choose the channel
Pick the default channel in posts to.
- Public channels work straight away — sprintrr joins the channel the first time it posts.
- Private channels need an invite first: in the channel, run
/invite @sprintrr. Slack doesn't let any app join a private channel by itself.
What gets posted
- Only updates you publish. Drafts — including the scheduled drafts sprintrr prepares on your schedule — never post on their own.
- Each update arrives as one formatted message with its sections (TL;DR, shipped, in progress, blockers & risks, next, asks).
- Sending an update that's already written doesn't use an AI Update; only drafting does.
What sprintrr stores
The workspace name, the default channel, and the bot token Slack issues for your workspace, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM).
Disconnect
Settings → Status updates → Disconnect removes the stored token. Updates already posted stay in Slack. You can reconnect any time.
