Tented integrates with Slack to send real-time notifications when forms are submitted on your published tents. This guide walks you through connecting your Slack workspace to Tented and configuring a Slack automation.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:
  • Admin access to your Tented workspace
  • Permission to install apps in your Slack workspace (or access to request app installation from your Slack admin)

​
Step 1: Connect Slack in Integrations Settings

  1. In Tented, click on your profile icon in the bottom-left corner.
  2. Select Integrations from the menu.
  3. On the Integrations page, select Install on the Slack tile.

  2. Review the permissions information and select Allow if you agree.

  1. A confirmation message that Slack is connected to Tented appears. Close the tab and return to Tented.
You can also connect Slack when setting up an automation for a specific tent. If Slack is not yet connected to your Tented workspace, you will be prompted to connect it during the automation setup process.

​
Step 2: Set Up a Slack Automation in Your Tent

Now that Slack is connected to your Tented workspace, set up a form automation to send notifications for form submissions. Set Up Form Submission Notifications:
  1. From the Tent Details page of the tent you want to set up notifications for, select the Add Automation button. (If you already set up an automation, the button says Manage Automations.)
  2. In the Tent Automations window, select Add Automation.
  3. On the left, under Trigger, select Form Submission.
  4. Under the trigger, select the form you want notifications for from the dropdown list. The list shows all forms in the tent.
  5. On the right, under Action, select Send Slack Message.
  6. Select the Slack Channel you want notifications sent to.
  7. Select Save to finish.
  8. Select Close to exit the Tent Automations window.
